The Allahabad High Court quashed NSA charges against Delhi University student Akriti Chaudhary in connection with a Noida workers’ protest, questioning the police evidence and administrative action. The court ordered ₹5 lakh compensation, to be recovered from responsible officials’ salaries. It observed that preventive detention laws cannot be used to deny bail or suppress peaceful protests.
Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 8: The Allahabad High Court rejected the police's theory and issued a stern message regarding disciplinary action against officials responsible for administrative negligence while quashing the National Security Act (NSA) charges invoked against Delhi University law student Akriti Chaudhary in connection with the workers' agitation for wage hikes in the Noida industrial area.
A division bench comprising Justices Atul Sreedharan and Achal Sachdev was hearing a habeas corpus petition.
During a thorough examination of the case, the High Court found that while the state police and district administration had levelled serious allegations against the accused, they failed to present any concrete evidence or video footage to substantiate them.
