Rhea Chakraborty Requests Bombay HC To Dismiss Sushant Singh Rajput's Sisters' Petition To Squash FIR
In a major development in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, the Supreme Court has passed a judgement on Thursday that is critical for cases under the NDPS Act. The judgement held that a statement recorded under Section 67 cannot be used as a confession in the trail of an offence under the Act.
Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer reacted to the judgement passed by the Supreme Court and said that it is a ‘Landmark pronouncement’. He was quoted as saying by Times Of India, “The Judgement rendered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in respect of Section 67 of the NDPS Act is a Landmark pronouncement. A large number of people have been incarcerated and punished on the basis of statements forcibly extracted by using third degree, coercion and threats to innocent individuals violating their Fundamental Rights in the last 35 years.”
While speaking about the SSR death case, he told, “Even in the case of all accused in the SSR Drugs Angle case, there’s hardly any recovery and independent evidence to charge them of serious offences. They are languishing in custody on the basis of inadmissible statements. In view of this Judgement rendered by Justice Rohington Nariman and Navin Sinha a large number of accused will see the light of the day. Similarly, Justice Nariman had rendered a judgement under PMLA in respect of section 45 which paved the way for large number of people languishing in custody illegally were released on bail. He will godown in history as one of our Greatest Judges and be remembered for all times to come by those fighting for Human Rights and downtrodden people languishing in our overcrowded ill-maintained jails.”
Satish Maneshinde furrher claimed that Rhea Chakraborty’s case has ‘lost total steam in the merits of the allegations by virtue of this judgement’.
