SC modifies its order, stays strictures passed by Allahabad HC against Noida DM

The Supreme Court modified its interim order regarding Noida District Magistrate Medha Roopam's actions. It stayed the Allahabad High Court's strictures and compensation directive related to the unlawful detention of Akriti Chaudhary. The Supreme Court's order prevents recovery of the Rs 5 lakh compensation from Roopam's salary until further hearing. In an earlier decision, the High Court quashed Chaudhary's detention under the National Security Act.
