Supreme Court Quashes FIRs Against Protesters; Youth Movement Gains Legal Victories
The Supreme Court quashed all FIRs against students involved in the July 20 protests, a move hailed by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and legal scholar Gautam Bhatia, who criticized India's criminal law system as favoring the state. The government also withdrew the planned September 5 CJP march. While some FIRs remain for individuals with criminal records, these developments mark significant victories for the youth-led movement advocating democratic rights and legal reforms.
