What is the latest development in the NIA's appeal regarding the 2013 Naxal attack on Congress leaders
The Supreme Court has refused to entertain the NIA's appeal over a fresh FIR in the Naxal attack.
- The National Investigation Agency (NIA) recently filed an appeal in the Supreme Court regarding the 2013 Naxal attack on Congress leaders in Chhattisgarh, seeking a fresh FIR.
- However, the Supreme Court refused to entertain the NIA's appeal and declined to interfere with the ongoing trial in the case.
- The NIA had argued that the trial court had not taken cognizance of certain crucial aspects of the case and sought a fresh FIR to include these aspects.
- However, the Supreme Court felt that the NIA's appeal was premature as the trial court was already hearing the matter and it would be inappropriate to interfere at this stage.
- The case pertains to a deadly attack by Naxalites on a convoy of Congress leaders in Darbha valley, Chhattisgarh, in May 2013, which resulted in the deaths of several politicians and security personnel.
- The trial in the case has been ongoing, with multiple accused persons facing charges.
