The Supreme Court of India has said that it will hear the West Bengal government's petition on July 21. The petition challenges the Calcutta High Court's decision to transfer the investigation of the incidents of violence during Ram Navami celebrations in the state to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The bench, headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, inquired whether the six First Information Reports (FIRs) filed by the state police are related to the same incident and if there is any overlap between them. The matter has been scheduled for further hearing on July 21.
