AISA president Neha Bora moves Delhi HC, challenges police notice to execute bond

All India Students’ Association (AISA) president Neha Bora has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, challenging a police notice ordering her to provide a ₹10,000 personal bond and a surety. The notice, issued on October 17, directed her to appear before a Special Executive Magistrate to "maintain peace during the period of inquiry," following her participation in a flag march.

Bora denies the allegations, stating that the notice is ambiguous, factually incorrect, and violates her constitutional rights under Articles 19 and 21. The notice cites three grounds for requiring the bond: alleged sloganeering at Mandi House on October 16, repeated protests near Jantar Mantar despite prohibitory orders, and instigating people to join a protest at Connaught Place.

Bora's legal team argues that the notice lacks supporting evidence for the "likelihood" of breaching peace and does not specify the period, occasion, or event in question. They also dispute the allegation that Bora instigated a protest at Connaught Place on October 16, emphasizing that her call was for a peaceful gathering at Mandi House and that she was detained there.
