NEW DELHI, 25 February, 2021 (TON): The capital communal clashes of February 2020 have been listed for 26 March this year by the Delhi High Court.
As a batch of petitions related to the last year’s violence that broke out in north-east Delhi last year in February have been adjourned and listed for March 26 by a division bench headed by Chief Justice D.N. Patel.
Communal clashes broke out in north-east Delhi in February last year following clashes between the anti-CAA supporters and protesters, which left at least 53 people dead and around 200 injured.
One of the petitions sought a direction to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT). It further sought registration of FIR against Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Manish Sisodia, Amanatullah Khan, Waris Pathan, Akbaruddin Owaisi, and Mehmood Pracha for alleged hate speeches.
Another petition by Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind sought to set up a special investigative team under either a retired High Court or Supreme Court Judge.
