NEW DELHI, Oct 4: The Delhi High Court on Friday closed the proceedings by a lawyer in connection with Sonam Wangchuk’s detention by the city police earlier this week and said the climate activist, who has now been released, can agitate his grievances himself.
“He does not need (another person) to agitate his rights. He can agitate his rights if he wants to… There cannot be a PIL in this matter… He will agitate in his own way. They (Wangchuk and his associates) will do whatever they want to,” a bench headed by Chief Justice Manmohan said.
Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the petitioner, argued that Wangchuk was kept in detention for almost three days by the Delhi Police in an unlawful manner without producing him before the magistrate.
