Gauhati High Court is yet to list the caseThe National Investigation Agency (NIA) has approached the Gauhati High Court challenging the July 1 order of the NIA special court that cleared activist-MLA Akhil Gogoi of all charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Act. “The court has not listed the case yet,” the MLA’s lawyer Krishna Gogoi told The Hindu. The special court of the NIA cleared him of all the charges as the investigation agency could not provide substantial evidence against him. He is the president of Raijor Dal, a regional political party formed in October 2020. Raijor Dal had contested the 2021 Assam polls in a loose alliance with another new regional party, the Assam Jatiya Parishad.
