## Judgment text (excerpt)

IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI Date of Decision: 16.05.2026 CRL.REV.P. 531/2025 & CRL.M.A. 37587/2025 JAGDEEP SINGH @ JAGGA & ORS. .....Petitioners Through: Mr. Vimal Tyagi, Advocate (through video conferencing). versus STATE NCT OF DELHI .....Respondent Through: Mr. Amit Ahlawat, APP for State with SI Ashish Yadav and SI Nikhil Raman. CORAM: JUSTICE GIRISH KATHPALIA J U D G M E N T (ORAL) 1. One of the disconcerting issues raised in the present case is as to what should be the inherent nature and extent of “protest”. Can it be legitimately termed “protest” where the so-called protestors, after burning on road effigy of an individual, cross the road, followed by broad footpath and even the service road in order to throw the burning portions of the effigy on the rooftop of the guardroom of the official bungalow of the person being protested against when security men present inside the gate even try to stop them, after which the so-called protestors would immediately in cowardly manner flee away, instead of as a mark of protest letting the law enforcement agency take them into custody? The answer is a resounding No. This is nothing but a brazenly disruptive activity. CRL.REV
