A Delhi court has granted police time till 18 September to procure sanctions in the JNU sedition case to prosecute former Students' Union President Kanhaiya Kumar and others.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Manish Khurana on Tuesday, 23 July, passed the order after Delhi Police told the court that no sanction has been received from authorities to prosecute Kanhaiya and others.
On 14 January, police had filed a charge sheet in the court against them, claiming that Kanhaiya was leading a procession and supported seditious slogans raised in the JNU campus during an event on 9 February 2016.
