The Delhi high court on Friday directed the Delhi Police to decide by Monday whether an alternative venue to Jantar Mantar can be provided to the United Forum of Bank Unions, Delhi State, for holding a protest seeking a five-day work week, improved pension benefits, and resolution of long-pending service-related issues.
“Give him something. They are saying give them some other place. The court passed the order while hearing a petition filed by the United Forum of Bank Unions, Delhi State, claiming to be an umbrella organisation of trade unions in the banking sector representing a majority of bank employees and officers in negotiations concerning their service conditions.
In its petition, the Union sought directions to the Centre and the Delhi Police to permit it to hold a peaceful dharna at Jantar Mantar or any other suitable venue in Delhi from September 28 to 30.
They can’t be coming to court for this,” a bench of justice Amit Mahajan said.
