Sushant Singh Rajput Death Case: Plea in Supreme Court Seeking Status Report From CBI.
(Judicial Quest News Network)
A PIL has been filed in Supreme Court seeking direction to CBI to submit a status report in late actor Sushant Singh Rajput death case.
The Plea stated that the CBI is not acting responsible in the present case and there is a delay in the conclusion of investigation of the case. It sought direction to the CBI to complete its probe within two months and submit a final report in the concerned court.
The Plea is filed by Advocate Vineet Dhanda, said the Apex Court had passed an order by the CBI inquiry on August 19 and despite lapse of almost four months the probe agency is yet to conclude its investigation.
The petitioner submits that This Hon’ble Court posed serious faith in the most premium investigative agency of our country and directed an investigation in the unnatural death of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput as the death of the actor shook the entire country and even the fans abroad got a setback due to untimely and unnatural death of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. This Hon’ble Court passed an order for CBI enquiry on 19th of August 2020 and despite lapsing of almost four months the Central Bureau of Investigation is yet to conclude its investigation and all the eager family members, fans, well-wishers of the late actor are yet to get a solace regarding the exact reason of the death of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The Central Bureau of Investigation is not acting responsible in the present case and there is a delay in the conclusion of the investigation of the case. Even in serious offences like murder the law stipulates filing of charge sheets in ninety days but in the present case the premium investigating agency has failed miserably in their role and the unnecessary delay in the present case is bringing bad name to the administration of justice not only in our country but across the globe.
The plea further states that “in the interest of justice and to keep the faith of law alive in the hearts of people, this Hon’ble Court must intervene in the present matter as the delay of the investigation of the present case has caused a serious dent to the image of the CBI and administration of justice in the eyes of general public.”
The petitioner brought into the Court’s notice that “in the interest of justice and to keep the faith of law alive in the hearts of people, this Hon’ble Court must intervene in the present matter as the delay of the investigation of the present case has caused a serious dent to the image of the CBI and administration of justice in the eyes of general public.”
The petitioner said in light of the above circumstances, it is humbly prayed to this Hon’ble Court may graciously be pleased to:
A. issue writ/order/direction to Respondent no. 2 to complete its investigation within a period of two months in view of the order dated 19.08.2020 passed by this Hon’ble court in Crl. No. 225 of 2020;
B. Issue writ/order/direction to Respondent No. 2 to submit a status report before this Hon’ble Court regarding investigation in suspicious death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in FIR No. 241 of 2020 dated 25.07.2020 under Sections 341, 342, 380, 406, 420, 306, 506 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 registered at Rajiv Nagar Police Station, Patna, Bihar and other proceedings being investigated for the mysterious death of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
