A Division Bench comprising Acting Chief Justice V Kameswar Rao and Justice CM Joshi directed that sealed status reports and all related documents be handed over to the amicus.

Advocate General Shashi Kiran Shetty, representing the state, submitted that the report contains sensitive preliminary findings that may impact ongoing magisterial and judicial inquiries. He urged that the reports remain sealed for now. However, several intervenors have sought the documents be made public, arguing that transparency is essential for accountability.
