The apex court also rejected the arguments of the state that the Madras High Court had permitted the protest programme by ensuring that there was on hindrances to the normal public life.
The bench said it was mainly concerned with the issue of deciding whether a bandh call can be given by any individual or organisation, after the concept of bandh had been declared illegal and unconstitutional by the apex court.
