Supreme Court Stays FIR and SIT Orders Against Kullu Officials Over Parvati Valley Rave Parties
The Supreme Court stayed the Himachal Pradesh High Court's order to register an FIR and form a Special Investigation Team against Kullu district officials over alleged facilitation of rave parties in Parvati Valley. The court upheld the transfer of the Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent of Police but noted the organisers had liquor licenses and no drugs were found. The controversy arose from public interest petitions citing drug abuse and administrative lapses linked to large music events attracting thousands of tourists.
