(File Photo)A Delhi High Court division bench Monday recused itself from hearing the habeas corpus plea of Gulfisha Fatima, one of the accused in the case of alleged “larger conspiracy” of Northeast Delhi riots, after noting that her counsel Mehmood Pracha was taking recourse to “heckling” during the proceedings. An SLP against the division bench order was withdrawn later. “You cannot keep filing a habeas corpus every time,” the court said adding that the remand order can be challenged in a properly instituted proceeding. During the hearing, Pracha also submitted that there was no remand order. I had only requested for recording my submission to the effect that there is no remand order whatsoever as of today”.
