NEW DELHI: The Delhi government’s decision to close the chapter on further adverse legal action against individuals who participated in the Cockroach Janta Party-led protests offers significant relief to protesters facing the fallout of the July 20 violence during the ‘Chalo Sansad’ march.The order means that, barring those with criminal antecedents, participants will not face any further adverse legal action by police authorities in Delhi solely for their involvement in the protests, a PTI report said.For protesters who were arrested or detained after the clashes, the order provides a pathway towards relief.As per the PTI report, the Delhi home department has directed that the process of reviewing arrests and releasing those already arrested be undertaken expeditiously.Police had earlier said that all those detained following the clashes were eventually released, but the latest order formally sets out the government’s position on further action in cases linked to the protests.The decision, however, does not amount to a blanket clean chit to everyone who participated in the agitation.The government order specifically excludes people with criminal antecedents, citing a recent Supreme Court order. This means individuals identified as having a criminal background will not automatically receive the protection extended to other protesters and may still face action in accordance with law.The distinction is significant as Delhi Police<\/a> have said it identified more than 2,800 people with criminal backgrounds who participated in the July 20 march.According to police officials, facial recognition technology and high-resolution cameras installed at Jantar Mantar were used to identify such individuals. Their cases will therefore have to be dealt with separately from those of ordinary protesters covered by the government’s decision.For the wider group of protesters, the order effectively signals that participation in the CJP agitation will not, by itself, trigger further adverse police action.This comes against the backdrop of 13 FIRs registered in connection with the violence during the march from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament.The government has now said that, for those covered by its decision, the matter will be treated as closed without future proceedings on that account.For the Delhi Police, the order draws a clear line between protest participation and criminal antecedents. It does not erase the violence that occurred on July 20, when police said protesters allegedly pelted stones and damaged public property, while security personnel used tear gas and lathicharge after repeated appeals to disperse failed.Around 200 personnel and more than 65 protesters were injured, according to police, while over 15 vehicles were damaged.What the order means in 10 points<\/span><\/p>\n
