New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday issued a notice on the appeal moved by Delhi Police against the discharge of Sharjeel Imam, Asif Iqbal Tanha, Safoora Zargar and eight others in the Jamia violence case of 2019. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma issued notice to some respondents as some of them appeared on advance notice.
However, the High Court summoned the trial court record (TCR) in digitised form. Though the HC has refused the observations made by the trial court judge, it said the observations will not affect further investigation that the police undertake or the trial of any accused in the matter.
The trial court made some serious remarks while discharging the accused persons on 4 February. The trial court record has been summoned in digitised form. The observations have not been expunged.
The matter is listed for further hearing on 16 March. (with Agency inputs)
