The Delhi High Court on Friday declined to urgently hear a petition seeking preventive directions to the authorities in connection with a protest by satirical political campaign Cockroach Janta Party scheduled to be held on Saturday, Live Law reported.The petition was filed by Delhi-based activist group Save India Foundation, which has demanded that the Union government, the police and the other authorities should be directed to take preventive and regulatory measures to ensure law and order during the protest.The founder of the campaign, Abhijit Dipke, called for the protest to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in the wake of the cancellation of the undergraduate National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for medical college admissions following an alleged paper leak.The Save India Foundation contended before the court that such a protest, if left unregulated, could hamper public safety, traffic and security in the national capital, Live Law reported.The organisation alleged that some online content linked with the mobilisation features inflammatory messaging, warnings about disrupting law enforcement actions and calls for disrupting public infrastructure.The case was mentioned on Friday before a vacation bench of Justices Saurabh Banerjee and Amit Sharma, Live Law reported. However, the bench declined to hear the petition urgently.The Cockroach Janta Party describes itself as a “political front of the youth, by the youth, for the youth”.It was launched on May 16 in response to reports of remarks by Chief Justice Surya Kant on the previous day comparing some unemployed youngsters to “cockroaches”. Since then, the campaign has garnered more than 22 million followers on Instagram.The chief justice claimed on May 16 that he had been misquoted by sections of the media and that it was baseless to say that he criticised young people in general. Kant claimed he had specifically criticised “those who have entered professions like the Bar [legal profession] with the aid of fake and bogus degrees”.Edited by Nachiket Deuskar.Also read: Interview: ‘Good chance that BJP will co-opt Cockroach Janta Party’s demands’Why INDIA bloc is welcoming the Cockroach Janta Party – but Congress is not
