Big win for CM Yogi in Supreme Court I Capital TV

The Supreme Court of India has delivered a significant legal victory to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in a high-profile case. The apex court dismissed a long-standing petition that sought sanction to prosecute the Chief Minister under stringent legal provisions concerning a speech delivered in Gorakhpur back in 2007. A bench comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta upheld the previous decisions, stating that there was no valid ground to proceed with the prosecution. The court noted that the sanction was rightly denied by the competent authority years ago, as the transcripts and evidence presented lacked sufficient merit to establish a prima facie case of promoting enmity between different groups. This judgment brings major political and legal relief to the Yogi Adityanath administration, closing a contentious chapter that had persisted in various judicial forums for over a decade and a half.
