NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought the chargesheet in the case of alleged inflamatory speeches made in a Dharam Sansad event in Delhi in December 2021. The police, however, wriggled out saying it is still awaiting the result of forensic examination of the voice samples.

A bench of Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala ordered the chargesheet after Additional Solicitor General K M Nataraj, appearing for the Delhi Police, said the samples were sent to the forensic lab and the report was awaited.

The court was hearing a plea seeking contempt proceedings against Delhi Police for alleged inaction over the incident, which the petitioner, Tushar Gandhi, said was in violation of the court’s guidelines in the Tehseen Poonawala case on how to deal with such matters.
