Instead, it’s about counselling. Yes, you read that right. The top court believes the best way to handle young protesters isn’t with lathi-charges or FIRs, but with listening. In a soft but firm stance, the bench led by CJI Surya Kant said: ‘The most powerful force is listening.’ Not force. Not fines. Listening. This isn’t just about one march or one protest. It’s about how India deals with youth anger; especially when it’s tied to big issues like education, jobs, and fairness. The court also hinted at forming special teams to investigate serious cases, while keeping the door open for withdrawing charges against students; unless they committed grave crimes. So while some want accountability for violence, the court is quietly saying: ‘Let’s understand why they’re angry first.’ A quiet revolution in justice; one conversation at a time.
