The order was passed by a single bench of Justice Samit Gopal on Tuesday.

The case is related to the Sambhal court’s order to register an FIR against police officers, including ASP Anuj Chaudhary.

The High Court stayed the January 9 order of the Sambhal CJM Court.

The complainant, Yamin, was asked to file a response to both petitions. The case will now be heard after five weeks.

Sambhal CJM Vibhanshu Sudhir had ordered the registration of a case under Section 156 (3) against 20 police officers, including Anuj Chaudhary, in connection with police firing during the violence.
