The PIL is an interesting one because the bandh is from 6 am to 6 pm and the court will hear the case at around 11 am, when the bandh has already started. The order depends on the judge hearing it. An impartial judge ought to say that the right to protest is a fundamental right but you cannot inconvenience citizens.
