The Delhi High Court on 1 October set aside the transit remand order, and subsequent detention under house arrest, of activist Gautam Navlakha.

Navlakha had been arrested by the Maharashtra Police as an accused in the Bhima Koregaon case , on 29 August.

On 4 October, the Maharashtra government moved the Supreme Court against Navlakha’s release. The case will in all probability come up before the newly appointed Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi.
