“No merit in the special leave petition. Dismissed,” a Bench led by Justice Sanjiv Khanna said, upholding the high court’s October 2023 order quashing the FIR against the Dera Sacha Sauda chief. Ram Rahim, who is serving his prison sentence in rape and murder cases, was booked in March 2023 over his remarks in 2016 when he had mentioned an incident involving Sant Kabir Das and Guru Ravidas.
