The Supreme Court has indicated it will take action if the metro station closest to its premises remains closed past noon.Chief Justice Surya Kant made this statement after the Supreme Court Bar Association chief informed the bench that lawyers and staff faced difficulties due to the station's closure.The station had been shut for the second consecutive day citing security reasons, though it reopened in the evening on Wednesday.

This closure comes amid ongoing youth protests in Delhi demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged mismanagement of competitive exams.

The affected metro stations, including those near Jantar Mantar, Parliament, and government offices, were part of a broader shutdown in central Delhi.

The court bench, led by Kant, refused to urgently address a petition about police force against protesters, dismissing the video evidence as time-consuming.The situation highlights tensions between law enforcement, protesters, and judicial authorities during public demonstrations.
