At a special sitting on October 11, the Supreme Court directed that detention follow the law, particularly for peaceful, unarmed gatherings outside areas under prohibitory orders, LiveLaw reported.

The court said Metro and rail services should operate normally unless public-order concerns require restrictions. NDTV reported that barricades should be removed unless warranted. These directions do not establish that every earlier detention was unlawful.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said detained people had been released, according to LiveLaw; this is a government submission, not independently verified universal release. Sources: LiveLaw and NDTV, October 11. The written order was not directly obtained for this report.
