The Supreme Court has issued contempt notices to the Union Home Secretary, Delhi Police Chief, and Delhi Metro Chief over detentions, road and metro closures, lack of traffic advisories, and train cancellations in the national capital. Hearing a habeas corpus plea alongside contempt allegations concerning nearly 7,000 preemptive detentions under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, the court directed top officials to file compliance affidavits by October 13 without mandating personal appearance. The bench ordered that normal metro, train, and internet services must function unhindered, barricades be reviewed, and restriction signboards outside the court premises be removed immediately.
