anti caa protest: Supreme Court strikes UP govt in CA elections

New Delhi: The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to withdraw the recovery notice issued against anti-caa protesters against the Citizenship Reform Act (CAA). The Supreme Court of India has directed the UP government to return the amount recovered. This amount is in crores. The recovery notices and proceedings initiated against the protesters against the CAA have been withdrawn, the UP government told the Supreme Court. There were protests against CAA in 2019. The violence was sparked by arson and vandalism. Government property was badly damaged during this time. In this case, the UP government had issued a recovery notice to the protesters.

The state government should recover the amount recovered from the alleged protesters, said Supreme Court Justice D.S. Y. A bench headed by Chandrachud said. The apex court also allowed the UP government to take action against the protesters under the new law under the UP Recovery of Damage to Property and Private Property Act.

The protesters and the government should be allowed to go to the claims tribunal. Additional Advocate General of the UP government Garima Prasad said that no order should be issued to return the amount recovered in this case. But the Supreme Court refused to accept this argument. Notice of recovery has been withdrawn and proceedings have been completed. The Supreme Court clarified that the amount recovered by the UP government should be returned. This amount can be in the billions.

The apex court had on February 11 expressed displeasure over the recovery notice issued by the UP government against those who opposed the CAA Act. The apex court had asked the UP government to withdraw the recovery action giving it one last chance and warned that if the action was not withdrawn, it would be quashed as it was against the rules. The apex court had said that the action was not in accordance with the rules laid down in our order.

The petition was filed in the Supreme Court on behalf of Pervez Arif Titu. The district administration had issued notices against the protesters and a notice of recovery was issued as compensation for damage to public property during the agitation. The petitioner had challenged the recovery notice in the case in the Supreme Court.
