The Supreme Court questioned a Noida executive magistrate for issuing a notice to student Akshat Tripathi despite the court quashing FIRs linked to protests and restraining coercive action. The magistrate had sought a ₹5 lakh personal bond and two sureties. The notice was later withdrawn. The court said it would seek a response from the district magistrate.
Lucknow: The Supreme Court on Wednesday pulled up a Noida executive magistrate for issuing a notice to a student involved in a protest, despite the court having recently quashed FIRs related to the demonstrations and restrained authorities from taking coercive action against students over their participation.
Supreme Court questions notice
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, heading the bench, questioned how an executive magistrate could issue such a notice after the Supreme Court's order.
"When the Supreme Court has quashed FIRs related to student protests and restrained coercive action against students in the future, how did the executive magistrate have the courage to issue a notice to the student? No magistrate can violate that order," the CJI said during the hearing.
