What Happened
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court of India and student organizers from the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) took major steps on Tuesday, 1 September 2026, altering the trajectory of the ongoing national youth mobilisation: ### 1. Supreme Court Quashes Protest-Related FIRs The Supreme Court passed orders granting relief and quashing First Information Reports (FIRs) and connected proceedings against students who participated in the July 20–25 nationwide protests. The order followed formal applications and reaffirmed commitments from the Central Government and administrative authorities, addressing a core grievance of student groups regarding penal actions following the July demonstrations. ### 2. CJP Informs Supreme Court of September 5 March Withdrawal Following the Supreme Court's order and the Centre's statements, CJP co-convenor Saurav Das formally informed the Supreme Court bench that CJP was withdrawing its call for the planned September 5 Delhi protest march from India Gate to Police Headquarters. With the primary grievance regarding student FIRs addressed by judicial order, CJP stated that street mobilisation in the capital for September 5 is officially concluded and cancelled. ### 3. Centre Reaffirms Commitments on Compensation and Welfare The Central Government reaffirmed before the Supreme Court its commitment to stand by promises made during previous discussions, including structured compensation for families of students who died by suicide in connection with NEET-UG examination irregularities. ### 4. Movement Transition: School Thik Karo Takes Centre Stage With the September 5 march withdrawn, CJP announced that its organizational and volunteer resources will transition fully into its grassroots education reform initiative, the **School Thik Karo** campaign.
