Delhi riots: SC stays HC order on Kalita inspecting case documents

The Supreme Court stayed a Delhi High Court order allowing 2020 Delhi riots accused Devangana Kalita to inspect unrelied 'malkhana' documents.

Delhi Police challenged the High Court order, arguing an accused has no right to inspection before charges are framed.

The case pertains to the 2020 Delhi riots and involves documents not relied upon by the prosecution.

The Supreme Court's stay temporarily halts Kalita's access to those documents.
