The High Court stated that peaceful demonstrations in a democracy are like a 'safety valve': courts will not remain silent if personal freedom is compromised.

The Allahabad High Court has stated in its order that citizens have a fundamental right to assemble peacefully and register protests without arms, as enshrined in the Indian Constitution. Peaceful demonstrations act like a 'safety valve' in a democracy, which cannot be suppressed arbitrarily. The court clarified that the use of stringent preventive laws should not become a means to prevent the normal legal bail of any citizen.
