No relief from SC to Hardik Patel in sedition case

The Hindu  

Taking a neutral stand, the Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Gujarat Police to continue to investigate Patel quota agitation leader Hardik Patel for sedition, but told the State to not file a chargesheet, in case the charges hold up, until it gives the final nod. The Bench, also comprising Justice R. Banumathi, chose to remain diplomatic on a petition filed by Mr. Patel to quash the sedition charges against him even as Mr. Rohatgi strongly objected to any interference in police work even while accusing the Patel leader of having recently “stage-managed his abduction to get public sympathy”. The court also refused to intervene in the judicial custody of Mr. Patel in the case, telling Mr. Sibal that they do not want to say anything before seeing the results of the probe. Countering Mr. Sibal's argument that there was no violent incidents or even rallies conducted between the date of alleged statement on October 3 and registering of an FIR, 15 days later, on October 18, Mr. Rohatgi said the government has enough proof that “large number of rallies were indeed planned in the interim”.
