India, Aug. 25 -- No cognizance shall be taken of the chargesheet filed against Ashoka University professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad, the Supreme Court said on Monday, hearing a plea filed by the professor against the FIRs filed over his posts on Operation Sindoor.

"With regard to FIR No.147, a copy of investigation report has been handed over to sr counsel for petitioner. Meanwhile, no cognizance shall be taken of the chargesheet," the Supreme Court bench said in its order.

Mahmudabad was earlier granted interim bail and a special investigation team was asked to file a report in his case.
