New Delhi: The Supreme Court has adjourned the hearing in the Teesta Setalvad case, arrested in connection with the 2002 Gujarat riots case. She has not been granted bail by the apex court today. The matter will now come up for hearing again on Thursday.  

Earlier, in an affidavit filed in a Gujarat court, the Gujarat government had said that the cases registered against so-called activist Teesta Setalvad for proving the evidence related to the 2002 Gujarat riots wrong were not based only on the Supreme Court's decision. Rather, these cases are based on pre-existing evidence. The affidavit had said that the investigation so far has also revealed a prima facie case against Setalvad for fabricating and falsifying false evidence related to the 2002 communal riots. Several concrete shreds of evidence, in the form of irrefutable material, have been included on record to substantiate the contents of the FIR in the investigation.

The Gujarat government has said on Teesta Setalvad's plea filed in the apex court that the investigation conducted so far has brought on record the material to justify the FIR, which clarifies that the applicant (Teesta Setalvad) had committed a variety of criminal acts by executing a conspiracy with other accused persons to gain political, economic and other material benefits.
