6.8.9.9. Caste Rallies

19 (1)(b) itself mentions the restriction, that is, Freedom to assemble peacefully without arms. Other restrictions are found in 19(3), which are as follows:

♤ Sovereignty and integrity of India

♤ Public Order

Lucknow bench of Allahabad HC in 2013 has banned caste rallies on the ground that they disturb public order and creates animosity between castes. This order is being contested as it seems to violate Art. 19(1)(b).
