Delhi High Court Says Neha Bora's Peace-Bond Notice Based On Diary Entries, Prohibitory Orders Covered Mandi House
The Delhi High Court upheld a peace-bond notice issued to Neha Bora, ruling that it was based on legitimate police diary entries and prohibitory orders rather than hearsay. The court clarified that the Special Executive Magistrate has the authority to initiate proceedings based on the potential for a breach of peace.
Why it matters
The ruling clarifies the legal threshold for authorities to issue peace-bond notices and underscores the scope of prohibitory orders during public protests.
The Delhi High Court said that Special Executive Magistrate's notice to execute a personal bond of ₹10,000 with one surety to maintain peace during an inquiry after she was detained last week, was not merely based on hearsay material but also based on case diary entries lodged at different police stations pertaining to different events. The court however directed the State to provide all materials to Bora which would be relied upon at the time of enquiry and based on which the Notice was issued, when Bora appears before the SEM.
