NDTV
Delhi riots case: The court said the counsel has not pointed out any material on record to substantiate his claim that the riots were not communal in nature or were handiwork of any political party.
A Delhi Court has shown strong disapproval of the submissions of Advocate Mehmood Pracha while rejecting the bail plea of an accused in a murder case related to North East Delhi violence held in February last year.
Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhat on November 11 in an order stated, "The submission of accused/applicant counsel is certainly not in good taste. These are noted with immense disgust, repugnance and strong disapproval".
The counsel has not pointed out any material on record to substantiate his claim that the riots were not communal in nature or were the handiwork of any political party, the court said.
The court further stated that it is the counsel himself who is now painting the entire Delhi Police with a communal brush by saying that the criminal cases related to the riots have been fastened upon the members of the Muslim community alone.
