Disha Ravi filed a plea to prevent Delhi Police from leaking investigation material related to the ‘toolkit’ case to the media. Delhi Police denied the allegations, prompting Ravi to question accountability for the leaks. The court identified three key public interest issues: protection of privacy, dignity, and fair trial rights; national sovereignty and reasonable restrictions on investigations; and balancing free speech with the public’s right to know. The case highlights the tension between individual rights and investigative transparency.
