Neha Bora challenges Delhi Police peace-bond notice in High Court
AISA president Neha Bora has challenged a Delhi Police notice in the Delhi High Court.
The notice asks her to provide a personal bond of ₹10,000 and one surety to keep the peace during an inquiry.
Police issued it after detaining Bora on October 16 as she was heading to a protest march; she was released the next day.
The march was part of protests calling for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to resign and raising demands over election rules.
AISA says the notice is unclear and factually wrong, and violates constitutional protections for freedom and personal liberty.
The group says the notice could curb the right to peaceful protest.
Bora’s lawyers are seeking an urgent hearing and will also appear before the Special Executive Magistrate to respond to the notice.
AISA president Neha Bora has challenged in the Delhi High Court a Delhi Police notice requiring her to furnish a peace bond of ₹10,000 and one surety.
AISA says the notice is ambiguous, factually incorrect and violates constitutional rights, and is seeking its withdrawal and an immediate stay.
Bora was detained on October 16 while on her way to a protest march and released on October 17.
The notice, dated October 17 and issued on October 18, directed her to appear before a Special Executive Magistrate on October 19.
AISA says the notice is an attempt to curb peaceful protest and alleges police restrictions were used against demonstrations over electoral roll revision and other demands.
