India, Sept. 9 -- Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant on Wednesday slammed a notice issued to a student by the Greater Noida Executive Magistrate and asked how the official could "dare to do" so. The student who received the notice had allegedly attended the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led student protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar.

"How could a Magistrate dare to issue notice? We made clear no coercive action against any student! No Magistrate could violate that order," CJI Kant said as a lawyer mentioned the issue before him, reported LiveLaw.

The notice to the Gautam Buddha University (GBU) student had sparked a controversy on Tuesday, but was revoked later.
