Article 19(1)(b) | Preventive Cancellation of Public Meeting Without Specific Grounds Violates Right to Peaceful Assembly : Telangana HC
Telangana High Court quashes the arbitrary cancellation of a political party's public meeting, ruling that vague fears of public disorder cannot justify curtailing the fundamental right to peaceful assembly under Article 19(1)(b) without specific, cogent reasons and prior hearing. The judgment reinforces that preventive censorship must meet constitutional scrutiny to avoid violating democratic freedoms.
