A bench of the Delhi High Court heard arguments on Monday regarding a plea challenging the extension of custody for Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka. During the proceedings, Justice Subramonium Prasad inquired about the ages of both petitioners as part of the court's examination of the matter.
Following the exchange about their ages, the judge made a pointed observation, remarking that neither of the two men qualified as Generation Z. The comment appeared to be made in the context of the judge's assessment during the hearing on the custody-related petition.
The plea was being heard as part of routine High Court proceedings on matters related to detention and custody extensions. The specifics of the case and the grounds on which the custody extension was being challenged were not immediately detailed in available reports of the hearing.
The Delhi High Court continues to hear numerous petitions challenging custody orders and detention periods as part of its regular judicial functions.
