India's Solicitor General, Tushar Mehta, announced on Wednesday that the Allahabad High Court's recent decision overturning the National Security Act (NSA) detention of a Delhi University student will face legal challenges. The High Court had dismissed the detention order given to the student by Noida District Magistrate Medha Roopam in connection with a workers' protest in Noida.
Additionally, the court ordered ₹5 lakh in compensation, which is set to be collected from the District Magistrate's personal salary. The High Court severely criticized the District Magistrate's decision, deeming it "worthy of derision" and pointing out the improper application of mind. Solicitor General Mehta made this statement to the Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant during proceedings related to a different case against a student from Gautam Buddha University in Greater Noida.
