Today, On 31st October, in the Delhi Riots Case, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Umar Khalid, told the supreme court that 59 hearing days were lost due to the DSP’s absence and lawyers’ strikes, yet Umar Khalid is blamed for delays, even though he said, “The day when the riots took place I was not in Delhi.”
The Delhi High Court has reserved its order on Law Minister Kapil Mishra’s plea seeking copies of the chargesheet in a case over his alleged objectionable tweets during the 2020 Delhi Assembly polls. The case stems from a complaint filed by the returning officer under Section 125 of the Representation of the People Act.
