Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the discharge order of several accused in a case arising from the 1993 communal riots in Mumbai, noting that the State of Maharashtra supported the discharge and did not challenge it before the High Court. The Court emphasized that the police action, which resulted in injuries and fatalities during an attempt to control the situation at Suleman Bakery, was conducted under the directive of Joint Commissioner R.D. Tyagi. The Court found no grounds to interfere with the High Court's dismissal of the revision application filed by the appellant Noorul Huda Maqbool Ahmed.
