The bench requested the Chhattisgarh High Court to decide the case.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to entertain two separate appeals of the Chhattisgarh government against orders of the High Court granting a stay on investigation in an FIR registered against senior BJP leader and former Chief Minister Raman Singh and the party’s spokesperson Sambit Patra for their tweets in connection with the alleged fake toolkit case.
“Let the Chhattisgarh High Court decide the case,” a bench headed by Chief Justice N. V. Ramana said.
The bench, also comprising justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli, said that the present cases cannot be granted separate treatment as there are many cases pertaining to the toolkit issue that are pending in various High Courts.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
