Delhi High Court Seeks Police Response on North East Delhi Violence Case Diary Plea

The Delhi High Court has requested a response from the police regarding activist Devangana Kalita's plea to preserve the case diary for the 2020 North East Delhi violence investigation. The next hearing is scheduled for November 25, following Kalita's challenge to a previous court order.

On Thursday, the Delhi High Court sought a response from the Delhi Police concerning a plea filed by activist Devangana Kalita. The plea requests the preservation and reconstruction of the case diary related to the 2020 North East Delhi violence investigation.

Presiding over the matter, Justice Jasmeet Singh refrained from immediately directing the police to preserve the relevant documents but instructed them to respond to Kalita's plea. The next hearing is set for November 25 following her challenge to a lower court's November 6 order.

Kalita has also urged the police to release specific videos and WhatsApp chats from two cases, one of which involves the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, linked to the communal unrest that occurred during protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the National Register of Citizens in February 2020.
