As per news report of NDTV, this was part of a report that was filed by amicus curiae senior advocate Vijay Hansaria in a case relating to expediting cases against MPs and MLAs. Besides Uttar Pradesh, several other states have also withdrawn a number of cases against legislators. A bench led by Chief Justice NV Ramana will hear the matter today. In his report, Mr Hansaria said 77 cases linked to Muzaffarnagar riots of 2013, for which the accused would have got life term in jail, were withdrawn by the Uttar Pradesh government without assigning any reason. Mr Hansaria wants these 77 cases to be examined by the High Court. In its last hearing, the Supreme Court had directed that cases against MPs and MLAs cannot be closed without the permission of the High Court.
