New Delhi, Nov 12: On the request of the Uttar Pradesh government, the Supreme Court on Friday adjourned the hearing of the case relating to the October 3 violence in Lakhimpur Kheri for November 15.
Earlier, a bench of Chief Justice NV Ramana, Justice Surya Kant and Justice Hima Kohli adjourned the case on Monday after senior advocate Harish Salve appearing for the Uttar Pradesh government urged the court for grant of some time saying “we are working something out”.
The apex court was hearing a case in which two lawyers had written a letter to the CJI seeking a high-level judicial inquiry into the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case. Two advocates Shiv Kumar Tripathi and CS Panda had sent the letter petition before CJI seeking punishment for politicians allegedly involved in the ghastly incident.
