The Supreme Court on Friday extended by four weeks the interim protection from arrest granted to Teesta Setalvad and her husband in a case of alleged embezzlement of funds for a museum at Ahmedabad’s Gulbarg Society that was devastated in the 2002 riots.
A Bench comprising Justices AR Dave and Adarsh Kumar Goel said the interim protection from arrest will continue till October 15.
Setalvad and her husband Javed Anand have challenged the order of the Gujarat High Court denying them anticipatory bail in the case.
