• A Delhi court stayed non-bailable warrants issued against Aishe Ghosh in connection with protests and demonstrations held at Banga Bhawan in Delhi.
• The warrants were issued on December 12, 2024, and April 11, 2026, after Ghosh failed to participate in court proceedings.
• Ghosh was booked under Sections 188, 34, and 447 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant, criminal conspiracy, and mischief causing damage.

The Patiala House Court's order was passed by Judicial Magistrate First Class Vijayshree Rathore.

A Delhi court has intervened in a high-profile case against Aishe Ghosh, former president of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) and leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). The court stayed non-bailable warrants issued against Ghosh in connection with protests and demonstrations held at Banga Bhawan in Delhi. The warrants were issued on December 12, 2024, and April 11, 2026, after Ghosh failed to participate in court proceedings. This development comes nearly a year after the Communist Party of India (Marxist) alleged that Delhi Police forcibly entered its headquarters to arrest Ghosh in the case.

The Patiala House Court's order was passed by Judicial Magistrate First Class Vijayshree Rathore. The non-bailable warrants were issued under Sections 188, 34, and 447 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). These sections pertain to disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant, criminal conspiracy, and mischief causing damage to the quantity of five hundred or upwards. Ghosh's failure to participate in court proceedings led to the issuance of these warrants.

This development has significant implications for lawyers and defendants alike. The stay on non-bailable warrants raises questions about compliance with summons and warrants, particularly in cases where defendants have failed to appear. Lawyers should pay close attention to this court order as it may set a precedent for future cases involving similar circumstances. Furthermore, the alleged forced entry into the Communist Party of India (Marxist) headquarters by Delhi Police has sparked concerns about police conduct and accountability.

Lawyers should watch for the implications of this court order on compliance with summons and warrants, particularly in cases where defendants have failed to appear.
