CAA: Supreme Court transfers hate speech cases to Delhi HC
New Delhi/UNI: Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered that the CAA riot-related petitions be transferred to the Delhi HC which will hear it on Friday.
"Having heard the matter in length, we direct these petition be transferred back to HC and CJ bench will hear it on Friday," ruled a three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice of India Sharad Arvind Bobde.
Apex Court said that all connected matters on the same subject shall be taken up along with that case. The Delhi High Court Chief Justice may dispose these petitions expeditiously.
The bench today also made it clear that the six-week adjournment given in the Delhi riots case by the High Court is 'unjustified.'
CJI Bobde said, peace must prevail, and added that the Delhi HC must make all efforts to bring harmony between both sides in the wake of the new citizenship law.
