Uttar Pardesh government on Friday told the Supreme Court that all show-cause notices have been withdrawn against anti-CAA protesters.
A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and Surya Kant said the state government will refund the entire amount worth crores of rupees, recovered from the alleged protestors due to the proceedings initiated in 2019.
It granted liberty to the UP government to proceed against alleged anti-CAA protestors under the new law — Uttar Pradesh Recovery of Damages to Public and Private Property Act notified on August 31, 2020.
The Supreme Court earlier last week told the Uttar Pradesh government to withdraw the proceedings against alleged anti-CAA protesters and warned that it will quash the recovery notices for being in violation of the law.
