A plea was filed in the Supreme Court on Friday against the proposed closure of metro stations and cancellation of trains to Delhi on October 10 due to a protest call given by the CJP and some student organisations against the CEC.

A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana was told by senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for CPI(M) general secretary M A Baby, that the entire Delhi has been directed to be locked down and that citizens have a fundamental right to protest.
