Hearing a petition by NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha and the outfit’s HR head Amit Chakraborty against their arrest in a UAPA case, the Delhi High Court sought the Delhi police’s response on Friday, according to a LiveLaw report. The court will hear the matter again on Monday.
Purkayastha and Chakraborty have challenged their arrest, the UAPA case against the portal, as well as the trial court order which granted their seven-day police custody. Purkayastha approached the high court a day after the Patiala House Court told the police to share a copy of the FIR with him. The police had opposed Purkayastha’s plea seeking the same.
