2002 Gujarat riots: SC to hear bail plea of activist Teesta Setalvad on August 22

The Supreme Court agreed to list on August 22 for hearing the bail plea of social activist Teesta Setalvad who was arrested for allegedly fabricating evidence to frame “innocent people” in the 2002 riots cases.

A bench headed by Chief Justice N.V. Ramana took note of the submissions of lawyer Aparna Bhat, appearing for the activist, that her plea be listed for hearing.

The bench, also comprising Justices J.K. Maheshwari and Hima Kohli, has now listed Ms. Setalvad’s plea before a bench headed by CJI-designate Justice U.U. Lalit next Monday.
