The Supreme Court has stayed a High Court order that permitted Devangana Kalita to examine unreviewed documents in the Delhi riots case.
The Supreme Court has stayed a High Court order that allowed activist Devangana Kalita to inspect documents that had not been reviewed in the Delhi riots case.
The High Court had earlier granted Kalita permission to examine the unreviewed material as part of the ongoing investigation into the 2020 Delhi riots.
In its order, the Supreme Court did not provide a detailed explanation but indicated that the matter required further scrutiny before any documents could be accessed.
The stay means that Kalita will have to wait for a new ruling before she can view the documents, and the Delhi riots case will continue under the existing legal framework.
