DIVYA DELHI : The Supreme Court has reportedly urged traders to exercise better judgment while raising their grievances, making a pointed observation about protests over what was described as a relatively minor issue. The court’s remark, centred on the need for “better sense,” has drawn attention to the balance between the right to protest and the importance of resolving disputes through constructive dialogue. The observation came during the hearing of a plea filed by traders. The court’s comments appeared to emphasise that protests should be considered carefully, particularly when the dispute involves an issue that may be resolved through discussion or other appropriate channels. The development highlights the judiciary’s role in examining petitions brought before it and encouraging parties to consider practical ways of addressing their concerns. However, the right to peaceful protest remains an important democratic principle, and the circumstances surrounding any such demonstration are relevant to assessing the dispute.
