The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Monday welcomed the Supreme Court's clarification on the withdrawal of FIRs against student protesters, saying it expected the Centre and BJP/NDA-ruled states to immediately implement the assurances made to agitating students under the July 25 agreement.
The apex court clarified that the expression "criminal antecedents" in its earlier order referred only to individuals accused of grave and heinous offences, and said states were free to close or withdraw FIRs against the remaining student protesters in accordance with law.
