Supreme Court Questions Greater Noida Magistrate Over Notice to Student in Jantar Mantar Protest
A Gautam Buddha University student, Akshat Tripathi, received a notice from the Greater Noida Executive Magistrate seeking a Rs 5 lakh bond for allegedly encouraging participation in a Cockroach Janata Party-led protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Tripathi denied the allegations, stating he participated peacefully and was not attending classes as the university was closed. The notice was revoked the same day after police found the report false. The Supreme Court criticized the magistrate for issuing the notice despite its earlier order barring coercive action against students and is seeking an explanation.
