The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) legal team is preparing to approach Delhi’s Patiala House Court to seek bail for Saurabh Das and Ashutosh Ranka, who have been sent to Tihar Jail following proceedings over alleged breaches of a peace bond.
According to the information provided, Das has been lodged in Jail Number 2, while Ranka has been placed in Jail Number 4. Meanwhile, Ajinkya Shinde secured bail after signing a peace bond.
The developments follow an inquiry initiated by a Special Executive Magistrate into alleged violations of peace bond conditions. The proceedings reportedly considered the individuals’ conduct and social media posts while ordering custody.
CJP Legal Team Challenges Custody Order
The party’s legal counsel is preparing to challenge the judicial custody order, arguing that the prescribed procedure under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) was not followed during the ongoing inquiry.
The legal challenge is expected to focus on whether the proceedings and custody orders complied with the applicable procedural requirements. The court will need to consider the submissions made by the legal team and the relevant circumstances before deciding on the bail applications.
The available information does not specify the exact BNSS provisions invoked in the proceedings or provide the full text of the custody order.
Peace Bond Proceedings Under Scrutiny
A peace bond is a legal mechanism intended to require an individual to maintain good behaviour or prevent a breach of peace under specified conditions. Alleged violations can lead to proceedings before the competent authority, subject to applicable legal safeguards and procedures.
In this case, the Special Executive Magistrate reportedly relied on conduct and social media posts while initiating the inquiry. The CJP legal team disputes the procedure followed and intends to contest the resulting custody order.
The next stage will depend on the bail applications and the court’s consideration of the procedural objections. Until the court rules, the allegations and the legal challenge remain matters to be examined through the relevant proceedings.
