SC to Hear Jamia-Aligarh Protests against Citizenship Act on Dec 17

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today said it will hold a hearing on the protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, held in Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia University and Uttar Pradesh’s Aligarh Muslim University on December 17.

Chief Justice S.A. Bobde said the apex court would not be bullied, and cannot be held to ransom while public properties are destroyed.

The court is not saying students are responsible or police are innocent, the Chief Justice added.

The bench also comprising justices B R Gavai and Surya Kant asked the lawyers to file their petitions and said it would hear them tomorrow.
