In the bail plea filed by activist Teesta Setalvad, the Supreme Court on Thursday asked the State of Gujarat to produce details of precedents in which the Gujarat High Court has given long adjournments.
The Supreme Court has closed pending pleas in connection with the 2002 Gujarat riots, saying that the cases have become "infructuous with the passage of time".
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta who is appearing for Gujarat in the case, on Thursday told a bench of Justice UU Lalit that a response to Setalvad’s petition is ready but it requires some corrections.
Teesta Setalvad case: On August 3, the Gujarat High Court issued notice to the state government on the plea and had fixed the matter for hearing on September 19.
