The Supreme Court today said there is a need to balance the right to protest and blocking of roads and that there cannot a "universal policy" since the situation may "vary" from case-to-case.
The top court's observation came as it reserved the verdict on a batch of pleas against the anti-CAA protests which had led to blocking of a road in Delhi's Shaheen Bagh last December.

The situation normalised later due to the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent observance of protocol.
