Delhi High Court rejects Neha Bora's plea against police notice to sign peace bond

The Delhi High Court has dismissed a plea by Neha Bora, the president of the All India Students' Association (AISA), against a police notice demanding that she sign a peace bond. Bora, who was among the demonstrators demanding the resignation of India's election chief Gyanesh Kumar, challenged the notice in court. The court has directed the Special Executive Magistrate (SEM) to provide all relevant material to Bora during the proceedings.

The police had issued the notice under Section 126 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) on October 17, requiring Bora to appear before the SEM on October 19 and explain why she should not execute a personal bond of ₹10,000 with one surety for maintaining peace during the course of the enquiry. The court emphasized that there are sufficient safeguards in place and that all material must be provided to Bora before any further action is taken.
