The Supreme Court Thursday refused to quash summons issued to Facebook India's Managing Director Ajit Mohan by the Peace and Harmony Committee, a Delhi Assembly panel constituted to probe the northeast Delhi riots that took place in February 2020.A bench led by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, however, clarified that the enquiry cannot delve into the "law and order" issue as the two are prohibited domains for the panel.
It ordered that the panel cannot "don the role of a prosecuting agency and file supplementary chargesheet as it may trigger other litigation".
