Supreme Court
The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear pleas challenging the Centre’s decision to block a BBC documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots.
A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala took note of the submissions of lawyer M L Sharma and senior advocate C U Singh seeking urgent listing of their separate PILs on the issue.
At the outset of the proceedings, lawyer Sharma, who has filed a PIL in his personal capacity, mentioned the plea, saying that people were being arrested.
“It will be listed on Monday,” the CJI said.
