The Supreme Court has stayed its earlier order directing that the SIT probing the 2023 Akola riots include officers from both Hindu and Muslim communities, saying the issue of secularism and fair investigation needs further examination.
The Supreme Court delivered a split verdict on the Akola riots case, debating the formation of a Hindu-Muslim SIT. Justice Sanjay Kumar stressed that secularism must be practiced in reality, not merely upheld as a constitutional principle.
