The Supreme Court on Monday asked protesting farmer Jagjit Singh Dallewal not to obstruct highways or inconvenience the public as part of this protest against the Central government for minimum support price for crops..A Bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan adivsed him so while disposing of a habeas corpus petition with respect to his alleged illegal detention.It said that while peaceful protests are a right in a democracy, there must be a sense of responsibility while indulging in such protests..Dallewal was allegedly removed from the protest site at Khanauri border adjoining Delhi, where he planned to agitate and fast unto death until his demand for a legal right to a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops is met.He was then admitted to a hospital in Ludhiana. Dallewal moved the Court claiming that his hospital admission was forced and a mode of detention.However, he was later released from detention and rejoined the protests. Taking note of the same, the Court disposed of the plea..Stay away from political parties: Supreme Court to protesting farmers at Shambhu border
