Court to hear arguments on Akhlaq lynching case withdrawal
A long time ago, in 2015, a man named Mohammad Akhlaq was killed by a mob in a village called Bisahda.
This happened in a place called Greater Noida in India.
Many people were very upset about this.
Now, the government wants to stop the case against the people who did this.
A court will listen to both sides on December 23 to decide what to do.
The family of Mohammad Akhlaq is also involved in this.
The court will decide if the case should continue or not.

The court has scheduled December 23 to hear arguments from both sides regarding the withdrawal of the case.
The application to withdraw the case was filed by the assistant district government advocate (criminal) on the directions of the state government and the joint director of prosecution.
