Why Supreme Court warned CBI over ‘Frivolous’ Plea against Rhea Chakraborty?
Reportedly in a big relief to actor rhea chakraborty and her family, the supreme court on friday upheld the bombay High Court’s decision of quashing the lookout circular (LOC) issued by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against them in connection with actor sushant singh rajput death case. A bench of Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan dismissed the petition filed by the cbi, the State of maharashtra and the Bureau of Immigration, saying that it was “frivolous” and was filed merely because one of the accused persons was “high-profile”.Meanwhile Justice Gavai said, “We are warning you. You are filing such a frivolous petition, only because one of the accused is a high-profile person. It will be dismissed with exemplary cost. Both persons have deep roots in society.” When the cbi counsel sought a pass over of the matter, Justice Gavai said, “If you want cost and some compliments to cbi, we will pass-over.”Moreover cbi entered the scene after an FIR was filed in Patna, later transferred to the cbi by the supreme Court. LOCs against Rhea and her brother were issued as part of the investigation. A LOC issued by an investigating agency can request the Bureau of Immigration to detain a person, stop the person from boarding a plane or simply inform the agency concerned about the person’s exit from the country.
