Bombay HC orders immediate release of six CJP activists detained by police in Panaji during protest

The full story

Everything you need to know about this case, in one place.

According to reports, authorities intercepted demonstrators before the protest could begin, rounding up dozens of individuals and preventing senior figures, including a former High Court Chief Justice, from entering the venue. The detained activists were subsequently shifted from Panaji to the Pernem police station.

A habeas corpus petition was filed challenging the alleged illegal detention, leading to an urgent night hearing by a division bench of the High Court. During the proceedings, the public prosecutor assured the court of the immediate release of the six individuals, and the judges directed local police station in-charges to submit affidavits explaining the reasons for the detention.

Not yet reported: The articles do not mention the final outcome of the Monday court hearing or whether formal charges were ultimately pressed against the detainees.
