Reserving the order after hearing the arguments of the two sides, Justice RC Jain said that the court's interim order on January 20 restraining the UP Police from conducting a parallel investigation into the case would continue till a final order was passed.

However, the court granted some relief to the UP Police by allowing it to collect the necessary documents pertaining to the case.
