The Delhi High Court declined to intervene in the continued judicial custody of Cockroach Janta Party leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka. Justice Subramonium Prasad permitted them to withdraw their petition.
Das and Ranka were detained on October 13 after allegedly climbing a locked gate to enter Jantar Mantar, a denotified protest site. They displayed the national flag and raised slogans against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
“When you go and break a barricade, the chances of 10 or 20 more people in violation of Section 163 (BNSS) is very high.”
A Special Executive Magistrate sent them to five days' judicial custody on October 14 and extended their detention by two days on October 19 until October 21.
The court asked them to await the SEM hearing scheduled later on Wednesday and approach the appellate court if their grievance remained unresolved. Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma said proceedings on fresh sureties were listed before the SEM.
