The UP government has withdrawn the 274 notices issued to anti-CAA protesters for recovery of damages on account of alleged damage caused to public property.
Senior counsel Garima Prashad told a Supreme Court bench led by Justice DY Chandrachud that all subsequent proceedings against them had also been withdrawn.Despite repeated requests by Prashad, the Bench refused to order status quo with regard to attached properties.The top court, however, gave liberty to the Uttar Pradesh government to issue fresh notices under a new law on the issue enacted by the state Assembly in 2020.
