The Delhi High Court has listed April 22, 2026, to hear the National Investigation Agency’s appeal seeking death penalty for Yasin Malik. The court granted four weeks to the NIA to file its response, observing that there was “no urgency” as Malik is already serving a life sentence.
The Supreme Court strongly criticised the Centre and several States for not complying with its 2020 order mandating CCTV installation in all police stations, calling custodial deaths a serious “blot on the system”. The Court has granted three weeks for compliance, failing which senior officials will have to personally explain the delay.
