The Supreme Court on Wednesday stated it was “unjustified” on the part of the Delhi High Court to postpone hearing the pleas for arrest and prosecution of leaders who prompted the communal rampage in the National Capital and directed the High Court to note the petitions on Friday (March 6).
Less than a week ago, the High Court adjourned to April 13 the hearing of petitions looking for immediate registration of FIRs versus those who egged mobs on with their hate speeches.
With this, the Supreme Court signed off the case, saying it did not want to “assume jurisdiction” over the petitions when the High Court was currently on the job.
