New Delhi: All India Students’ Association (AISA) president Neha Bora has moved the Delhi high court challenging a notice issued by the Delhi Police and sought an immediate stay and withdrawal of the notice.The notice, issued under Sections 126 and 130, read with Section 135(3), of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) on October 18 directed Neha to appear before the Special Executive Magistrate (SEM), New Delhi District, on October 19. The notice asked them to execute a personal bond of Rs 10,000 with one surety to “maintain peace during the period of inquiry”.Bora’s petition argues that the notice is prima facie ambiguous, factually incorrect and violates Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution, a statement released by AISA said.The legal team, led by Abhik Chimni, Pranjal Abrol and Moksha, among others, will approach the chief justice of the Delhi High Court seeking an urgent hearing. The lawyers will also appear on Neha’s behalf before the SEM to respond to the notice and inform the magistrate about the challenge in the high court, the statement said.AISA also questioned why the Delhi Police had allegedly been following Neha in plain clothes since their release from detention on October 16. The association asked whether this was police protocol or an attempt to intimidate them.The student group has alleged that the notice was intended to curb peaceful protests demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. It said the police had repeatedly invoked Section 163 of the BNSS to restrict demonstrations.AISA also alleged that students participating in the protests had faced police brutality and attacks by right-wing groups. It accused the police of deploying excessive paramilitary personnel, restricting internet connectivity and shutting metro stations to suppress demonstrations.“It is deeply ironic that the police accuse peaceful demonstrators of disturbing the peace when law enforcement – acting on instructions from the Modi government – has deployed over 40,000 paramilitary personnel, repeatedly imposed Section 163 of the BNSS, permitted right-wing groups to target peaceful protesters, and shut down metro stations and internet connectivity. All of these measures were implemented to suppress peaceful protests against Gyanesh Kumar. If anyone has genuinely disrupted public peace, it is the Delhi Police through their unlawful actions,” the statement said.
