The student who received the notice had allegedly attended the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led student protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.
Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant on Wednesday slammed a notice issued to a student by the Greater Noida Executive Magistrate and asked how the official could “dare to do” so.
No Magistrate could violate that order,” CJI Kant said as a lawyer mentioned the issue before him, reported LiveLaw . “How could a Magistrate dare to issue notice? We made clear no coercive action against any student! This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
As stated in an earlier HT report, the notice was issued based on a police report accusing the student of spreading “anti-government false information” and instigating students to join the CJP protest. The notice to the Gautam Buddha University (GBU) student had sparked a controversy on Tuesday, but was revoked later.
