Supreme Court Questions Greater Noida Magistrate Over Student Protest Notice
The Supreme Court questioned the Greater Noida executive magistrate for issuing a preventive notice to law student Akshat Tripathi over his alleged role in Cockroach Janata Party-led protests, despite a clear September 1 order barring coercive action against students. The notice, demanding a Rs 5 lakh bond, was later withdrawn. The court also noted the Uttar Pradesh government's plan to challenge an Allahabad High Court order awarding Rs 5 lakh compensation to another student, Akriti Chaudhary, for illegal detention under the National Security Act. The Supreme Court will seek explanations from the magistrates involved.
