The Delhi High Court permitted the BJP-led government to withdraw its petition opposing the Lieutenant Governor’s decision to let the Delhi Police appoint Special Public Prosecutors for the 2020 northeast Delhi riots and 2021 Republic Day violence. The case, initiated by the previous AAP government, raised concerns over fair trial implications.
The Supreme Court of India has ordered expedited trials for 11 Kanpur cases related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, addressing decades of delays in delivering justice. Special prosecutors must assist courts promptly for a swift resolution. This intervention aims to ensure victims’ families finally receive closure after over thirty years.
Today, 26th April, The Delhi Court extended the judicial custody of AAP leader Manish Sisodia and others in connection to the Excise Policy Case until May 8. The case involves allegations of irregularities in the Delhi government’s liquor policy. The court also issued directives to the Enforcement Directorate to estimate the time required for digitizing the documents, aiming for more efficient handling of the case.
