The Supreme Court has refused to take up an urgent hearing on a petition filed by traders opposing the closure of Central Park in Delhi's Connaught Place due to the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' protest program proposed by the 'Cockroach Janata Party' (CJP). 

However, it made key remarks expressing concern over the impact of this closure on small traders. Due to this development, they are facing a loss of about Rs. 200 crore per day. The traders are expressing their grief that they are facing a loss of about Rs. 200 crore per day.

The petition was filed by Delhi Grocery Committee and Delhi Iron and Hardware Merchants Association. Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai, appearing for the petitioners, argued before a bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Suryakant and Justice Joy Mallya Bagchi today. 

He brought to the court's attention that the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) had issued orders to close the park at midnight, and that this decision would paralyze business activities during the festive season and cause serious losses.

Responding to this, CJI Suryakant said, "We hope that all the concerned parties will come to a good idea in this matter. We know how small shopkeepers earn their livelihood during the festive season. We understand the hardships and difficulties faced by their families."

At the same time, Justice Bagchi intervened and said that the right to protest, maintenance of law and order and the right to do business are interrelated. 

If it is later found that the restrictions imposed by the government are unreasonable and that they have caused illegal losses to the traders, the court can award compensation using the special powers provided by the Constitution, he clarified. 

The relevant petitions on this issue are already under hearing in the Delhi High Court. The petition is likely to be heard on October 26 or 27, after the Dussehra holidays.
