SC to quash FIRs against student protesters
Supreme Court can look into utilising Article 142 for quashing FIRs made against students for their non-violent protests on account of the anomalies associated with NEET-UG. This case has serious implications in terms of differentiating between a non-violent protest and crime, and the conflict between Article 19 rights and maintenance of public order.
