New Delhi, July 30: The Delhi government has directed that no further adverse legal action be taken against individuals who participated in the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led protest in the national capital, while making it clear that the relief will not apply to those with criminal antecedents.

According to an order issued by the Home Department, cases involving arrests or detentions made in connection with the protest will be reviewed promptly, and the process of releasing those detained will be carried out expeditiously.

"The Government of NCT of Delhi does not propose to take any further adverse action against the individuals involved in the protests, and the matter shall be treated as closed without any future proceedings on this account," the order stated.

It further directed that no police authority within the National Capital Territory of Delhi should initiate any adverse legal action against those who took part in the protests.

However, the order clarified that the protection will not extend to individuals with criminal backgrounds, in line with a recent directive of the Supreme Court.

The development comes after the Delhi Police registered 13 FIRs following violence during the Cockroach Janta Party's 'Chalo Sansad' march held on July 20.
