The Delhi High Court is deliberating on whether to uphold student activist Devangana Kalita's plea for preserving the case diary from a February 2020 riots investigation.

After hearing arguments from both Kalita's and the Delhi Police's attorneys, Justice Ravinder Dudeja has reserved judgment on the matter.

Kalita argues that the police have wrongly introduced 'antedated' statements in the document, impacting her charges. The police counter that disclosing the diary would delay proceedings.
