The Supreme Court adds that the panel cannot behave like a prosecution agency

The Supreme Court on Thursday said Facebook ought to appear before the Delhi Legislative Assembly Committee of Peace and Harmony, enquiring into the circumstances leading to the February 2020 communal riots.

Investigation of a socially complicated problem is within the domain of the legislature, the court noted.

A judgement pronounced by Justice S.K. Kaul, however, said the Committee cannot behave like a prosecution agency trying to probe whether Facebook was innocent or guilty of anything.

The court said the Committee cannot delve into prohibited zones of law and order and criminal prosecution. These were the domains of the Centre. Besides, courts were already seized of the criminal trials of the accused in the riots. The Supreme Court said the official representing the social media giant, need not respond to questions from the Committee on these domains.

The court criticised the Delhi government side for its remarks in the press about Facebook, in connection with the riots.

"The statements made in the press conference by respondents were hardly conducive to the proceedings before the Committee," the court noted in its verdict.
