New DelhiPolice will produce 3 detained activists before a magistrate Sunday.
Delhi Police detained about 7,000 people Saturday at a protest demanding the election chief’s resignation.
An executive magistrate is an administration officer, not a judge, so the executive reviews its own detentions first.
A Saket court dismissed legal head Ratna Singh’s plea for a police case, citing no affidavit and no named officer.
The Supreme Court holds a special sitting Sunday on pleas against the crackdown, and opposition protests resume Monday.
