North East Delhi violence: Delhi HC seeks police reply in Devangana Kalita's plea for preservation of case diary

New Delhi [India], November 14 (ANI): The Delhi High Court on Thursday sought Police response over a plea moved by activist Devangana Kalita seeking direction to preserve and reconstruct the case diary related to its investigation into a case related to North East Delhi violence.
The bench of Justice Jasmeet Singh after noting down the submissions declined to immediately pass direction to the Delhi Police to preserve and reconstruct the case diary related to its investigation in a case related to the violence held during the February 2020 anti-CAA violence.
However, the Court directed the Delhi Police to respond to activist Devangana Kalita's plea, which challenges the city court's November 6 order. The court set the next hearing for November 25.
In September, the Delhi High Court directed the trial court not to pass a final order on the framing of charges in the alleged larger conspiracy behind the 2020 Northeast Delhi violence while hearing a plea by Devangana Kalita.
Kalita sought directions for the police to provide her with certain videos and WhatsApp chats from two cases, including one filed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) related to the communal violence during the 2020 protests against the CAA and NRC.
In February 2020, violence erupted during protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the week that coincided with the visit of then-US President Donald Trump to India. (ANI)
