AISA says the notice is vague and unconstitutional, and Bora’s petition seeks a stay while her lawyers seek an urgent hearing before the Chief Justice.
- On Monday, AISA president Neha Bora challenged a Delhi Police notice in the Delhi High Court, seeking to quash an order requiring her to execute a Rs 10,000 peace bond.

- Legal representatives for Neha plan to seek an urgent hearing before the Chief Justice, though the Delhi High Court remains on vacation until October 26 with no vacation bench available today.
