Calcutta HC: Kudmi Samaj Rail Roko Programme Illegal
The Calcutta High Court has said that a planned protest by the Kudmi Samaj group is against the law.
The Kudmi Samaj wanted to block roads and railways to ask for a special status called Scheduled Tribe status.
The court had a similar case last year, so the judges made the same decision again.
They said that the group cannot do this kind of protest.
Calcutta High Court ruled Kudmi Samaj's protest illegal.
The protest involved planned rail and road blockades.
The Kudmi Samaj demands Scheduled Tribe status.
The court's decision was made on September 19.
The court cited its previous ruling on a similar protest in 2023.
