NEW DELHI: Abhijeet Dipke , founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), was granted exemption from appearing before the Special Executive Magistrate (SEM) Court on Tuesday on medical grounds.




Dipke was scheduled to appear before the SEM Court at Mandir Marg Police Station. SEM Akhilesh Mishra granted the exemption after his counsel moved an application citing medical reasons. The court allowed the plea and fixed December 2 as the next date for his appearance.




Advocate Abhik Chimni appeared on behalf of Dipke and also sought copies of documents related to the case. Appearing for Delhi Police , advocate Prashant Prakash submitted that the documents had already been supplied along with the Kalandra (notice). He also requested that Dipke's medical grounds be verified.




After hearing both sides, the court supplied the documents to the accused's counsel.




On October 16, Dipke was arrested by Delhi Police under Sections 126 and 170 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita ( BNSS ) in a preventive case following the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' protest held in the national capital that day.




According to Delhi Police, Dipke and Bora were detained on the evening of October 16 under preventive provisions. Subsequently, action under Sections 126/170 of the BNSS was initiated against Dipke, who was arrested and produced before the SEM court.




Earlier, on October 10, Dipke was detained in a separate preventive case while travelling on a flight. In that case, he was required to execute a bond undertaking to maintain peace for one year.
