Following the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march on October 16, Neha Bora, president of the All India Students’ Association, faced legal action in West Delhi. The event led to a notice being issued by the Special Executive Magistrate.
Bora challenged the peace bond notice in the Delhi High Court. She argued that the notice did not disclose the substance of the information or demonstrate the Magistrate’s independent application of mind.
In a decision issued on October 23, the Delhi High Court dismissed Bora's plea. Justice Subramonium Prasad stated, 'I am rejecting the writ petition at this juncture.' The court emphasized the need for proper furnishing of police material and the consideration of statutory safeguards.
