After Delhi Police sought a ₹10,000 peace bond and the High Court allowed proceedings to continue, Neha Bora challenged whose peace the measure protects. Slogans against her outside a police station sharpen the question of equal treatment, but the legal notice and the final case remain distinct.

Villagers in Balda and Bannur allege that signatures and thumbprints—including entries for people who had died—were used to show approval for a Kalinga Alumina bauxite mine.
