The notice, issued October 17 under Sections 126, 130 and 135(3) of the BNSS, demanded a Rs 10,000 bond.
Bora’s petition argues the notice is vague, factually incorrect and violates constitutional Articles 19 and 21.

History

Historical Context

India’s Supreme Court broadened personal liberty in 1978 when Justice Y.V. Chandrachud’s five-judge bench in Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India ruled that Article 21’s procedure cannot be arbitrary, overturning the restrictive A.K. Gopalan precedent. That doctrine underpins today’s challenge by AISA president Neha Bora, who contests a Delhi Police peace-bond notice demanding a Rs 10,000 bond under the BNSS.
