Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's former house helper Samuel Miranda has got a big relief from the Supreme Court. The court has upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to quash the April 10 look out circular. Also rejected the Centre's appeal, in which it had challenged the order to cancel the look out circular issued against Sushant Singh Rajput's former house helper.
Rejecting the petition, the court said that no party was present during the hearing of this case. Also, we do not see any concrete reason in the petition, keeping in mind that the appeal can be accepted.
The High Court had said that the look out circular was issued only on the basis of FIR. There was no concern that the petitioner might avoid arrest or avoid attending the trial.
The High Court had said that the look out circular was issued only on the basis of FIR. It did not show that the petitioner would try to avoid arrest or avoid attending the trial. Apart from this, CBI had not presented any new application before the court for continuation or renewal of LOC, even though the period of one year had expired.
In 2024, Miranda demanded from the High Court that the LOC issued against him by the CBI in 2020 should be cancelled. He said that the police has not yet given any report and this LOC has been pending for three and a half years. Miranda also said that this is affecting his right to travel abroad, which is a violation of his fundamental rights.
