Supreme Court Dismisses Review Petition Against BJP Leaders in Hate Speech Case
The Supreme Court dismissed CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat's review petition challenging its April 29 decision that cleared BJP leaders Anurag Thakur and Parvesh Verma of allegations of hate speech during the 2020 Delhi Assembly election. The court found no error in its earlier ruling, which concluded that the speeches did not constitute a cognizable offence. The review petition was rejected without an open court hearing, affirming the previous judgment amid ongoing debate over the case.
