The
Supreme Court on Monday adjourned till October 3 the hearing on the plea of
CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat challenging the Delhi High Court's order dismissing
a petition against the trial court's refusal to order registration of an FIR
against BJP leaders Anurag Thakur and Pravesh Verma for their alleged hate
speeches over anti-CAA protests.
A
bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Pankaj Mithal deferred the matter after
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju submitted a request for adjournment.
The
top court said no further adjournment will be granted to the respondent in the
case.
The
apex court on April 17 had issued notice to the Delhi Police on the plea filed
by Karat.
On
June 13 last year, the Delhi High Court had dismissed the petition filed by
CPI(M) leaders Karat and KM Tiwari against the two BJP MPs for their alleged
hate speeches.
The
high court had refused to interfere with the trial court's order, saying under
the law sanction is required to be obtained from the competent authority for registration
of FIR in the present facts.
