Supreme Court Stays Delhi High Court Order on Evidence Inspection in Delhi Riots Case
The Supreme Court stayed a Delhi High Court order allowing Delhi riots accused Devangana Kalita to inspect electronic evidence not relied upon by the prosecution in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case. The Delhi Police argued that access to such documents before charges are framed could delay the trial and breach confidentiality. Kalita's counsel contended the evidence could prove peaceful protest participation. The court postponed the matter for further hearing, emphasizing that such arguments should be raised during trial.
