According to an order issued by the Delhi government's Home Department, the administration does not intend to pursue any further proceedings against those involved in the protests. It said the matter should be treated as closed, signalling a move to draw a line under the protest-related cases for eligible participants.

A Move Towards Closure

The order also addresses those who have already been arrested or detained in connection with the protests. It states that the process of reviewing such arrests and facilitating the release of arrested persons will be carried out expeditiously.

The Home Department further directed that no police authority within the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi should initiate any adverse legal action against individuals who participated in the protests. The decision reflects the government's intent to ease legal proceedings arising out of the demonstrations while bringing a sense of closure to the issue, PTI reports.

Exception Keeps Legal Scrutiny Alive

Despite the broad relief, the government has made it clear that the protection will not extend to people with criminal antecedents. The order states that such individuals will continue to face action, in line with a recent order of the Supreme Court.
