Counsel mentioned: A 2nd year student...in contravention of your Sept 1 order which showed grace towards students of India...notice was issued to a 2nd year student by Ex. Magistrate of Greater Noida on input of Noida police...about to be executed...later on it came in the press that it has been withdrawn. THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT with students of India. This is prima facie contempt. Authorities of Noida and UP can't create fear psychosis among students.
