Delhi riots conspiracy case and document access

In Devangana Kalita v. State, the High Court vacated its earlier interim order restraining the trial court from passing final orders on framing charges in the UAPA “larger conspiracy” case relating to the 2020 Delhi riots. At the same time, it allowed inspection of unrelied documents kept in the malkhana, reinforcing fair‑trial norms in complex conspiracy prosecutions while permitting the trial to move forward.^[3][4]

Bar Council elections and tampered ballots

In Raman Gandhi v. Bar Council of Delhi & Ors., the Court refused to order fresh elections despite discovery of tampered ballot papers during counting. It upheld the High‑Powered Election Supervisory Committee’s decision to recommence counting from second‑preference votes, holding that the irregularity did not vitiate the entire electoral process so as to warrant a re‑poll.^[4][3]
