Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court stated that transferring a case from a judge has an effect on the judge as well.

The bench stated unequivocally that the nature of the allegations was serious and worrisome, and the gravity of the acts could not be overstated.

The plea has been moved by three persons, namely Shaheen Abdullah, Amitabh Pande and Deb Mukharji. They have sought direction from the Delhi HC to the ECI to take immediate action, including filing of FIR against the political leaders delivering hate speeches.

According to the High Court, Salim Malik was also involved in a conspiracy to destroy CCTV cameras in the Chand Bagh region during 2020 anti-Hindu riots.

The PIL was filed by advocate Shrikant Prasad. He had submitted before the court that the media was creating “pressure and airing sensational headlines” regarding Arvind Kejriwal's resignation and imposition of presidential rule in Delhi.

The bench remarked that due to non formation of the standing committee, many projects in the national capital are stalled.

The Delhi HC called Salim Malik a "co-conspirator" in Delhi riots case and held that he took active part in hatching a conspiracy to commit the riots.

On Monday, 22nd April, the Delhi High Court dismissed the bail plea of Salim Malik alias Munna in the anti-Hindu Delhi Riots of 2020.

Delhi High Court while dismissing the plea seeking extraordinary interim bail in all criminal cases said the court in writ jurisdiction cannot grant extraordinary interim bail in a pending criminal case initiated against a person holding high office.

“No wonder Delhi jails are full. The capacity of Tihar is 10,000, but it has 23,000 inmates. This is because schools are not functioning. Do you understand the correlation?” the High Court bench added.
