The Delhi High Court on Friday listed for hearing on October 9 a batch of petitions concerning the February 2020 riots here, including those seeking FIRs against certain political leaders for alleged hate speeches.
HC schedules hate speech FIR pleas against political leaders for Oct 9

A bench headed by Justice Prathiba M Singh said the petitions, filed in the aftermath of the communal violence in north-east Delhi, needed to be heard, while questioning whether some of the reliefs sought in them have “run its course" at this stage.

The bench, also comprising Justice Amit Sharma, asked the parties to file written submissions and also directed that the order of the Supreme Court in another case seeking FIR for alleged hate speeches by political leaders be placed on record.

Communal clashes had broken out in north-east Delhi on February 24, 2020, after violence between citizenship law supporters and protesters spiralled out of control, leaving at least 53 people dead and around 700 injured.

Several petitions are pending in the high court in relation to the riots
