Supreme Court Extends Interim Relief To Teesta Setalvad

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has extended interim protection given to Teesta Setalvad in the 2002 Gujarat riots case. The civil rights activist has been accused of fabricating evidences.

In a late night hearing on July 1, the country’s top court had paused Gujarat High Court’s order — asking Teesta to surrender immediately – for 7 days.

On Wednesday, the three-judge Supreme Court bench of Justice BR Gavai, Justice AS Bopanna and Dipankar Dutta stayed the High Court’s order till July 19, when the next hearing has been scheduled.

Gujarat Police had filed an FIR against Teesta for allegedly fabricating documents to implicate senior government functionaries in connection with the Gujarat riots.

Teesta and former top cop RB Sreekumar were arrested on charges of fabricating evidence, committing forgery and criminal conspiracy.

Teesta was released from Sabarmati Jail in September 2022 on granted interim bail by the Supreme Court.
