Supreme Court Slams Noida Officer's Action Over CJP Protest

The Supreme Court on Wednesday questioned the notice issued by the Greater Noida Executive Magistrate under Section 130 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita against a student for allegedly campaigning for participation in the student protests proposed by the Cockroach Janata Party.The Court asked how the Executive Magistrate could issue the notice when the Supreme Court has quashed the FIRs over the student protests and barred any future coercive action against any student over the CJP protests.The matter was brought to the attention of a bench led by the Chief Justice of India through the oral mentioning of Senior Advocate Bishwajit Bhattacharyya. He submitted that the Executive Magistrate issued notice to a second-year student of the Gautam Buddha University, asking him to show cause for not furnishing a personal bond of Rs 5 lakh to ensure that he will preserve peace.
