Supreme Court Stays Allahabad HC Order on Noida DM's Compensation in NSA Detention Case
The Supreme Court has stayed the Allahabad High Court's order that quashed the National Security Act detention of Delhi University student Akriti Chaudhary and directed Rs 5 lakh compensation to be recovered from Noida District Magistrate Medha Roopam's salary. The SC questioned holding Roopam solely responsible, noting the detention decision involved multiple administrative levels. The High Court had criticized the detention as unlawful and Roopam's conduct as questionable. The Supreme Court has reserved its verdict, with further hearings scheduled.
