Delhi High Court orders police response on former MLA’s plea to quash FIR over 2024 women’s reservation protest.

The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to the Delhi Police in response to a plea by former MLA Alka Lamba seeking to quash an FIR filed against her over a 2024 protest for women's reservation. The case stems from a protest in Parliament Street where she was accused of violating a prohibitory order and obstructing public servants. Charges were framed in January 2024 based on eyewitness accounts and electronic evidence. A special judge dismissed her revision petition on February 6, ruling there was no legal error and that sufficient grounds existed to proceed. The High Court’s notice seeks the police response before further proceedings on her plea.
