Jantar Mantar protest: Noida student gets notice, later revoked

The Supreme Court on Wednesday, September 9, questioned how a Greater Noida Executive Magistrate could issue a notice to a student over his alleged involvement in the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)-led protests, despite the court’s earlier order against taking coercive action against students.

Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant objected to the notice issued to a second-year student of Gautam Buddha University, asking him to furnish a personal bond of Rs 5 lakh to maintain peace.

“How could a Magistrate dare to issue notice? We made clear no coercive action against any student! No Magistrate could violate that order,” the CJI remarked.
