Delhi Metro restrictions face a contempt petition amid protest curbs

A petition reported on 10 October challenges continued station restrictions following the Supreme Court’s directions on public transport.

A contempt petition was filed in the Supreme Court over restrictions on Delhi Metro access ahead of the 10 October CJP protest. Advocate Shailendra Mani Tripathi alleged that the restrictions continued despite the court’s previous directions against a complete shutdown of public transport.

Morning reports described entry and exit restrictions at 45 stations, reduced from an earlier plan covering 57. The announced window ran until 6 pm on 10 October, subject to security review. Interchange facilities were to remain available at affected stations except New Delhi.

The petition asks the court to examine the authorities’ actions. Its allegations are not a finding that contempt occurred. These details describe the morning position; travellers should consult current transport advisories because station access and traffic arrangements can change during the day.
