‘Barricades there for a purpose’: Delhi HC pulls up Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka in peace bond violation case
CJP's Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka on Tuesday moved the Delhi HC, challenging a special executive magistrate’s order extending their judicial custody
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday scrutinized the actions of CJP party leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, specifically focusing on their lawyer Abhik Chimni's explanation regarding the breach of their bail bonds and subsequent arrest. The court questioned why the prescribed procedure under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) was not followed when the bail bonds were violated.
Das and Ranka had been detained earlier in the day at Indira Gandhi International Airport under Sections 126 and 170 of the BNSS. The court expressed concern over their breach of barricades during the protest, stating that the purpose of barricades is to prevent unrest and potential damage. The court asked Chimni about the age of Das and Ranka, to which he replied 27 and 32, respectively.
