The Supreme Court has withdrawn a notice issued to Akshat Tripathi, a student at Gautam Buddh University, regarding a proposed "Cockroach Janta Party" (CJP) protest in Greater Noida. The notice, issued under Sections 126 and 130 of the BNSS, demanded that Tripathi provide a ₹5 lakh personal bond and two sureties of the same amount.
The notice alleged that Tripathi had encouraged fellow students to participate in the CJP dharna. However, after the court heard Tripathi's petition, the notice was withdrawn. Chief Justice Surya Kant, along with Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, heard the case and ruled that any action taken on the basis of the notice would be annulled.
The withdrawal of the notice marks an end to the preventive proceedings against Tripathi, ensuring he will face no punitive action. The court's decision comes after the Supreme Court had previously directed that no coercive action be taken against students during protests.
