Activist Teesta Setalvad to continue on bail, says Supreme Court

The Supreme Court on Wednesday quashed a July 1 order of the Gujarat High Court directing activist Teesta Setalvad to surrender immediately in a forgery case linked to the 2002 riots.

The apex court said Ms. Setalvad would continue on bail in accordance with a September 2, 2022 order of the Supreme Court.

“The FIR [First Information Report] you filed in this case in June 2022 says she fabricated the statements [of the riot victims] given to the Special Investigation Team [SIT]. These statements were given in 2008 till 2011… What were you doing since 2011?” a Special Bench headed by Justice B.R. Gavai asked the Gujarat police, represented by Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju.
