'Are all citizens being made slaves of Indian govt': Bombay HC quashes externment order over CAA protests

The Bombay High Court has overturned an externment order against SDPI leader Saeed Ahmad Chaudhary, who organized protests against government policies like the Citizenship Act amendments. Justice Madhav Jamdar questioned the basis for the order, citing the right to protest and express dissent. The court emphasized that opposing government decisions does not justify externment and affects fundamental rights, stating police serve the public, not political leaders.
