The Delhi High Court has scheduled a hearing on a petition seeking permission for a Tiranga March to be held at Central Park, Connaught Place.
The Delhi High Court has set a date to consider a petition filed by organisers of a planned Tiranga March at Central Park, Connaught Place. The petition seeks the court's approval to hold a large-scale patriotic rally featuring the national flag, with participants expected from across the city.
The petitioners argue that the march is a peaceful expression of national pride and request that the court lift any administrative restrictions that could impede the event. They have also sought assurances that law‑enforcement agencies will facilitate crowd management and security.
During the hearing, the court examined the legal framework governing public assemblies and the need to balance constitutional freedoms with public order. The bench issued an interim order directing the municipal authorities to maintain the park's status as a public space while the case is pending, and asked the police to prepare a safety plan.
The decision on whether the march will be allowed will be delivered after further submissions. Stakeholders, including local civic groups, have been asked to submit any objections within the stipulated timeframe.
