New Delhi: All India Students’ Association (AISA) President Neha Bora has moved the Delhi High Court to challenge a formal notice issued by the Delhi Police. According to reports, the directive requires Bora to execute a personal peace bond amounting to ₹10,000 along with a surety to "maintain peace during the period of inquiry". Bora’s legal team filed the petition arguing that the police order is prima facie ambiguous, factually incorrect, and infringes upon fundamental constitutional rights guaranteed under Articles 19 and 21.

Background of Protests and Police Action

The police notice follows the recent detention of student leaders and activists during demonstrations in the national capital. Bora was detained by Delhi Police ahead of the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march near Mandi House and Connaught Place, amid protests organised against administrative bodies. While she was released the following morning after completion of formalities under Section 65 of the Delhi Police Act, law enforcement subsequently issued the bond notice directing her appearance before the Special Executive Magistrate. Activists have denounced these preventive measures as an attempt to suppress peaceful assembly and public dissent.

High Court Vacation Bench and Legal Strategy

With the Delhi High Court currently closed for the Dussehra vacation and scheduled to reopen on October 26, Bora's legal representatives have sought an urgent listing before the court's vacation bench. Alongside contesting the legality of the peace bond notice, the petitioner's counsel intends to inform the Executive Magistrate that the bond will not be signed, prompting further judicial scrutiny as the matter unfolds.
