A Delhi court upheld discharge of two accused in a 2020 Northeast Delhi riots case, citing investigative lapses. The court observed grave suspicion lies against the police story, agreeing it is difficult to accept prosecution material at face value.
Today, On 28th February, The Supreme Court set-aside the Delhi High Court’s stay on the discharge of SS Wazir in a murder case. It ruled that such a stay should only be granted in truly exceptional circumstances. The Court emphasized that unnecessary delays in discharge orders can impact justice. This decision reinforces the principle of fair and timely legal proceedings.
