SC Dismisses CBI Appeal on Look-Out Circulars
In a notable development in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, the Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Maharashtra state, and the Bureau of Immigration challenging the Bombay High Court’s decision to cancel look-out circulars against actor Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik, and their father.
The bench, led by Justices B.R. Gavai and K.V. Viswanathan, criticized the petition, suggesting it was filed due to the “high-profile” nature of the accused rather than substantive grounds. Justice Gavai stated, “We are warning. You are filing such a frivolous petition, only because one of the accused is a high-profile person… It will be with exemplary cost. Both persons have deep roots in society.”
When the CBI’s counsel requested a delay in proceedings, Justice Gavai remarked, “If you want cost and some compliments to CBI, we will pass over.”
While further details on the legal developments are awaited, the Supreme Court’s dismissal provides a significant relief for Rhea Chakraborty in this high-profile case, underscoring the judiciary’s stance on merit-based litigation and emphasizing due process.
