Who provided legal defence to the people arrested in the aftermath of Chauri Chaura incident

Explanation

Following the Chauri Chaura incident in 1922, where a violent clash led to the death of 22 policemen, the British authorities arrested numerous individuals involved in the protest. Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, who had previously retired from legal practice in 1911, resumed his legal career to provide defense for those accused. He appeared before the Allahabad High Court and successfully secured the acquittal of a significant number of the accused. While specific details about Krishna Kant’s involvement are less documented, records indicate that Malaviya played a pivotal role in the legal defense during this period.
