New Delhi: The Supreme Court Wednesday granted bail to social activist Teesta Setalvad who is facing charges of falsifying evidence in a 2002 post-Godhra...
A bench of Justices B R Gavai, A S Bopanna and Dipankar Datta issued notice to the Gujarat government on the appeal filed by Setalvad against the Gujarat High Court order.
Setalvad was arrested by the Gujarat Police on 25 June, 2022, on charges of conspiring to falsely implicate innocent people in connection with the 2002 Gujarat riots.
Setalvad was granted bail by Supreme Court last September in a case pertaining to alleged fabrication of evidence to frame innocent people in 2002 post-Godhra riots cases.
The court said the prosecution failed to prove that the two accused were part of the mob that 'attacked and killed' 14 people in Vadodara’s Best Bakery during 2002 Gujarat riots.
In affidavit in SC regarding laws brought in by some states, govt accused Teesta Setalvad of being 'guilty of collecting huge funds' & exploiting 'agonies of riot-affected people'.
The apex court also made it clear that as far as Setalvad’s regular bail is concerned, the Gujarat HC, where her bail petition is still pending, will take a final call.

Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
