Delhi HC Refuses Relief to CJP Leaders Challenging Judicial Custody
The court said the leaders should pursue revision remedies after the magistrate extended custody in a repeat-breach case.
- On Wednesday, Cockroach Janta Party leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka withdrew their Delhi High Court petition challenging their judicial custody after being detained for waving the national flag at Jantar Mantar.
- Detainment followed the leaders' attempt to enter Jantar Mantar on October 13, violating a bond signed with a SEM, after their October 10 protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
- Justice Subramonium Prasad of the Delhi High Court questioned the duo regarding their ages, noting Das is 27 and Ranka is 31, while emphasizing they violated their prior legal agreement.
- Advising the pair to approach the revisional court, the judge stated, "You are a person who has actually broken a bond...Your remedy actually lies in revision," allowing the plea withdrawal without rendering an opinion on merits.
- While acknowledging the right to protest, the court observed that democratic change occurs through elections; CJP legal cell head Ratna Singh stated their liberty should not be curtailed for political games.
