In a significant development, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, co-convenors of the Aam Aadmi Party-affiliated Citizens for Justice and Peace, have withdrawn their plea filed before the Delhi High Court against the extension of their judicial custody. The withdrawal came ahead of another scheduled hearing before the Special Executive Magistrate court, where the matter was expected to be taken up. The decision to withdraw the High Court petition marks a tactical shift in the legal strategy of the two accused individuals. According to available information, Das and Ranka will determine their future course of action following the outcome of today's hearing before the Special Executive Magistrate. The nature of charges against them and the specific grounds for the custody extension remain central to the ongoing legal proceedings. The developments suggest the duo may be exploring alternative legal remedies or reassessing their defence strategy in the lower court forum, where immediate custody-related decisions are typically adjudicated.
