What happened

The Delhi High Court asked for medical reports on Sonam Wangchuk while hearing a matter linked to his protest. The court said Wangchuk’s constitutional right to continue a protest must be weighed against any possible health risk or unforeseen event.

Counsel argued that Wangchuk should be allowed to continue the agitation. The government side said the court needed to know whether his health had been affected.

Background and earlier position

The protest dispute involves detention and public-order concerns. Sonam Wangchuk was transferred for medical examination, and the legal contest includes questions around detention and police response.

Police were deployed as protests persisted, with security personnel blocking roads, detaining demonstrators, and preventing gatherings from reaching sensitive areas.
