New Delhi, Oct 8 (TIWN) : The Delhi High Court will on November 2 hear a petition filed by CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat challenging a trial court order which had dismissed her plea seeking registration of FIR against BJP leaders Anurag Thakur and Kapil Mishra over their alleged hate speech during the riots that broke out in the national capital earlier this year.

The plea, filed through advocates Tara Narula, Adit S Pujari and Aparajita Sinha, was listed before a single judge bench of Justice Yogesh Khanna who asked both parties to file the set of judgments they would rely on and posted the matters for further hearing on November 2.  Karat, in her petition, challenged the order passed by the trial court on August 26 dismissing her plea seeking lodging of FIR against the two leaders on the grounds that the requisite sanction from the competent authority, the central government, was not obtained.
