All India Students&rsquo; Association president <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sunday-mid-day/article/the-idolisation-of-neha-bora-23654420" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Neha Bora</a> on Saturday said that they will not sign a peace bond before a special executive magistrate (SEM). This comes a day after the Delhi High Court dismissed their plea challenging a police notice directing them to provide a personal bond of Rs 10,000 with one surety.
Bora said demonstrating peacefully on the streets is a democratic right, and questioned how raising concerns against the government could be construed as a threat to peace.
&ldquo;If we do not ask the government any questions, whose peace are we keeping?&rdquo; they asked.
The police notice asked the student leader to appear before a SEM on October 19 and show cause as to why they would not execute a personal bond of Rs 10,000 with one surety &ldquo;for keeping peace for a period of inquiry&rdquo;.
When Bora apperared in front of a SEM, the magistrate provided Bora&rsquo;s counsel with documents that formed the basis of the police allegation that there is a likelihood of breach of peace. &ldquo;We will examine them before the next hearing on the 29th,&rdquo; said their lawyer Abhik Chimni said.
The demonstration was part of the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sunday-mid-day/article/run-neha-run-two-filmmakers-turn-news-around-neha-bora-into-satirical-arcade-game-23655646" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">protests demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar&rsquo;s resignation</a> over alleged irregularities in electoral rolls.
Bora had challenged the notice in the Delhi High Court, terming the preventive proceedings an attempt to suppress peaceful dissent, and said that the notice did not adequately establish the likelihood of a breach of peace. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
