MP High Court Frees NEYU Activists
The Madhya Pradesh High Court freed two activists from the National Educated Youth Union (NEYU) who were detained before a planned protest.
The court said a police condition requiring a government employee to stand surety for their bail was too harsh and unfair.
The activists had informed the police about their protest but were detained instead of being given permission.
The court ordered their release with a personal bond of Rs 50,000 each and one solvent surety of the same amount.
The state argued that the conditions were necessary due to the activists' past involvement in violent protests.
The Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court ordered the release of two NEYU activists.
The court found a police-imposed bail condition requiring a government employee to stand surety to be onerous.
The activists were detained ahead of a peaceful protest planned in Indore on July 23.
The State defended the detention, citing the activists' alleged involvement in violent protests in 2024.
The court directed the release of the activists on furnishing a personal bond of Rs 50,000 each with one solvent surety of the same amount.
