Overview
- A division bench of Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Manoj Jain asked Delhi Police to file an updated status of the investigations, including the total number of FIRs.
- The court scheduled a consolidated hearing on November 21 for long-pending petitions seeking a judge-led SIT, additional FIRs against political leaders, and action against police personnel.
- In oral remarks, the judges noted that FIRs are registered and police investigations are underway, indicating little scope for directions through writ proceedings.
- Petitioners were told to present evidence-based grievances before the magistrate, who can supervise investigations and issue appropriate orders.
- Delhi Police has maintained that three Crime Branch SITs are probing the cases and that no evidence has emerged so far of officer involvement or political instigation.
