india ποΈ SC clarifies: No stay on student's detention relief
The Supreme Court revised its order concerning DM Medha Roopam and confirmed there is no stay on the relief given to student Akriti Chaudhary. This case involves Chaudhary, a 25-year-old DU history grad detained under NSA during the Noida workers' protest in April. On September 2, the High Court quashed her detention and ordered Rs 5 lakh compensation from Roopam's salary. The SC initially stayed the compensation order pending a full review of the case merits. The court emphasized officials' loyalty must be to the Constitution, not the political executive. ποΈ
