A division bench comprising Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice Tashi Rabstan, in its order, directed the Inspector General of Police to file the status report of the investigation. The incident has led to widespread anger across the Valley, with north Kashmir witnessing violent protests since the incident came to light on May 8. Chief Justice Gita Mittal asked the police to file a report by Thursday. However, senior government lawyer Bashir Ahmad Dar pleaded that the police be allowed to file a fresh status report by Friday. This was granted by the bench with directions to the IGP to file the same by 10 am on Friday. The girl was allegedly raped at Tarigam village of Sumbal on May 8 by a youth in her neighbourhood.
