The Supreme Court of India was hearing a special leave petition related to the 2002 Gujarat riots case. The hearing that began on October 26th was adjourned and will now continue on November 10th at the request of the petitioners' counsel Kapil Sibal, as he needed more time to conclude arguments and the court was going into Diwali break. The petitioners were allowed to file 4 additional volumes of documents before the next hearing date.
