The Division bench of this Court, vide order dated 27-03-2023, directed the concerned police authorities to hand over all the FIRs, documents, materials seized, CCTV footage, etc., to the NIA for investigation within two weeks from that date. Despite requests, the directions were not complied with by the State, and the State moved Special Leave Petitions before the Supreme Court, where vide order dated 24-07-2023, the SLPs were disposed upholding the Division bench&#8217;s order.<\/p>\n<p><b>Submissions<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioners contended that the State deliberately did not comply with the Court&#8217;s directions despite multiple orders and petitions. The petitioner further contended that the State had filed a writ petition challenging the vires of the NIA Act and certain orders passed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, which, according to the State, should be heard together, however, the State did not raise this issue before the Division Bench or during the hearing of the Special Leave Petitions in the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p><b>Court&#39;s Verdict<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In the light of the submissions of the parties and the orders passed by the Division Bench and the Supreme Court, the Court held that the State&#8217;s plea to challenge the vires of the NIA Act could be considered separately but should not hinder compliance with the Court&#8217;s previous orders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that the directions of the Division bench were to be complied with immediately after the pronouncement of the verdict by the Supreme Court and any further delay in compliance would be considered contemptuous.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court directed the State to hand over all investigation files mentioned in prayer &#8216;C&#8217; of the writ petition to the NIA positively by 01-08-2023 at 12:00 PM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">National Investigation Agency v.
