Supreme Court Reserves Order on Noida DM's Challenge to NSA Detention Compensation
The Supreme Court reserved its order on Gautam Buddh Nagar District Magistrate Medha Roopam's plea challenging an Allahabad High Court judgment that quashed Delhi University student Akriti Chaudhary's detention under the National Security Act and ordered Rs 5 lakh compensation from officials, including Roopam. The court questioned singling out Roopam, noting the detention process involved multiple authorities and hierarchical levels. The Allahabad High Court had criticized the detention as unlawful and speculative, ordering compensation and recording displeasure against officials. The Supreme Court is considering the procedural roles and responsibilities before delivering its verdict.
