SC plea: 'breach of peace' used as ploy to justify detentions

Academician Apoorvanand Jha has petitioned the Supreme Court, arguing that authorities are misusing the 'breach of peace' provision to detain citizens who call for peaceful protests, thereby undermining the constitutional right to public demonstration. The plea challenges the legal interpretation of 'breach of peace' and its application in recent detentions. The outcome could set a precedent for protest rights in India.
