Delhi HC Closes Plea To Permit Climate Activist Sonam Wangchuk, Others To Protest

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday closed the proceedings on a plea seeking permission for climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and others to hold a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar here.

Petitioner Apex Body Leh’s counsel said they no longer wished to press the plea as the protest stood withdrawn following a discussion with the authorities.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who was representing Delhi Police, added that Wangchuk has also withdrawn his fast and, therefore, the petition might not survive.
