Former activist Neha Bora told the Delhi High Court she had no part in the call for a protest against the Chief Justice of India and sought a peace bond after her detention.
Delhi High Court on Wednesday heard the petition of Neha Bora, who was detained earlier this week in connection with a call for a protest against the Chief Justice of India (CJP). Bora asserted that she had no involvement in organising or promoting the demonstration and that her arrest was unwarranted.
The court examined the peace bond application, a legal instrument that allows a detained individual to be released on condition of maintaining public order. Bora's counsel argued that the bond would ensure her cooperation with any ongoing investigation while safeguarding her liberty.
Law enforcement officials, however, maintained that her detention was based on preliminary evidence linking her to the protest call. The bench postponed its final decision, directing both parties to submit further documentation within ten days.
The hearing underscores the heightened sensitivity surrounding protests aimed at the judiciary and the legal safeguards available to those accused of inciting unrest.
No further details were disclosed regarding the original protest plan or any other individuals allegedly involved.
