Alka Lamba, a former Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), has been released on probation for good conduct by the Rouse Avenue Court following her conviction related to a protest in support of the Women's Reservation Act on July 29, 2024. The court's decision, made by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashwani Panwar, allows her to serve one year on probation, contingent upon her furnishing a bond of ₹1 lakh and maintaining good behavior. The court noted that Lamba is a first-time offender and emphasized the rehabilitative aspect of punishment, as per Section 401 of the BNSS. During the protest, Lamba was found to have exceeded the designated area and time, which led to her conviction. However, the defense argued that no physical injuries or property damage occurred, asserting that her actions were part of a peaceful demonstration. The court acknowledged these arguments and deemed it appropriate to grant probation, highlighting the importance of rehabilitation in the justice system.
