During a hearing on a custody plea challenging the extension of their judicial custody, CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka had their ages disclosed as 27 and 32. This prompted Justice Subramonium Prasad to jokingly remark that they were not Gen Z.
The leaders faced preventive legal proceedings under sections 126 and 170 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) after attempting to hoist the national flag at Jantar Mantar in violation of restrictions.
The duo initially challenged an order extending their judicial custody by filing a plea in the Delhi High Court under Article 226. However, they subsequently withdrew their plea after the court pointed out that an alternative legal remedy, such as a revision petition, was available.
