Noida DM Appeals Supreme Court Against Allahabad HC Order on Student's NSA Detention
Gautam Buddh Nagar District Magistrate Medha Roopam has appealed to the Supreme Court against an Allahabad High Court order that quashed the detention of Delhi University student Akriti Chaudhary under the National Security Act during the April Noida workers' protest. The High Court criticized the detention as based on a 'concocted' story, ordered Chaudhary's release, and directed Rs 5 lakh compensation to be recovered from Roopam's salary and other officials. The government plans to challenge this decision.
