Mahila Congress leader Alka Lamba scores a legal victory as Delhi High Court notifies police on her FIR challenge, requesting full case details and status.
The hearing spotlighted FIR filing triggers and inquiry advancements, with orders for quick police submissions. Lamba posits political grudge as the FIR’s core, demanding annulment for lacking proof.
Her plea highlights charge infirmities at face value. The court vowed comprehensive hearings before rulings, limiting now to fact-finding via notices.
Flashback to 2024 pre-election Jantar Mantar dharna for women quota rollout. Chargesheet led to Rouse Avenue summons; Judge Singh cleared Magistrate Panwar’s charges for public servant assault, obstruction, and non-compliance.
Prosecutors stressed defiance of area bans and unapproved marches. High Court’s step intervenes decisively.
This relief bolsters Lamba’s stance against what she calls fabricated claims, drawing attention to activist-police frictions.
Awaiting police stance, the matter could redefine boundaries for public mobilization in Delhi, blending law, politics, and rights.
