Supreme Court extends interim protection to Teesta Setalvad, posts case on July 19

The Supreme Court on Wednesday extended its interim order protecting activist Teesta Setalvad from arrest in a forgery case linked to the 2002 Gujarat riots. It posted the case on July 19.

A Special Bench of Justices B.R. Gavai, A.S. Bopanna and Dipankar Datta issued notice to the Gujarat government in a petition filed by Ms. Setalvad against a State High Court judgment refusing to grant her regular bail in the case.

The Supreme Court had on Saturday, in a special hearing, granted her interim protection from arrest just hours after the High Court ordered her immediate surrender.
