Supreme Court Stays Delhi High Court Order Allowing Devangana Kalita Access to Riot Case Documents
The Supreme Court has stayed a Delhi High Court order allowing activist Devangana Kalita, accused in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case, to inspect documents not relied upon by the police in their chargesheet. The stay followed an appeal by Delhi Police, citing concerns over trial delays and arguing Kalita is not entitled to such documents before charges are framed. Kalita's counsel referenced a Supreme Court ruling supporting access to unrelied documents. The matter is scheduled for further hearing in two weeks.
