Congress leader Alka Lamba was convicted for protesting at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar in July 2024 against implementing women's reservation, despite prohibitory orders. Charges included assaulting officials and obstructing public duties. 

After her May 25 conviction, a Delhi court ordered her release on a Rs 1 lakh bail bond and a one-year good conduct bond. Lamba welcomed the release, asserting her adherence to law and plans to challenge the conviction. The case highlights tensions between protest rights and legal restrictions.
