The Supreme Court on Wednesday strongly criticised the Gautam Budh Nagar administration over a preventive notice issued to 20-year-old law student Akshat Tripathi for allegedly encouraging students to join a protest in Delhi. Chief Justice of India Surya Kant questioned the action despite the court’s September 1 order protecting students who participated in the demonstrations. “How could a Magistrate dare to issue notice? We made clear no coercive action against any student!” the CJI said. The notice, issued on September 4, accused Tripathi of spreading anti-government information. It was withdrawn the next day after police found the information behind it was false. (PC: HT)
