Supreme Court Permits Teesta Setalvad To Travel To Malaysia For Anti-Racism Conference

The Supreme Court granted permission to activist Teesta Setalvad to travel to Malaysia for an anti-racism conference. Setalvad, facing charges related to alleged falsification of evidence in the 2002 Gujarat riots cases, had sought relaxation of her bail conditions to attend the international event. The Court allowed her plea, recognizing the importance of her participation in the conference and the absence of any pressing legal reasons to prevent her from traveling. The ruling highlights the Court’s consideration of individual rights and international engagement in legal decisions.
