Big Breaking: Supreme Court Restricts Media Statements in Twisha Sharma Case

The Supreme Court has concluded its hearing in the Twisha Sharma (referred to in proceedings as Twisha Sharma case) matter, where it had earlier taken suo motu cognizance. The Court issued key directions asking both the victim’s family and the accused side to refrain from making public statements or giving media interviews, emphasizing that all statements should be given only to the investigating agency. It also instructed that witnesses and accused should avoid unnecessary comments in the media to ensure a fair and unbiased investigation. The Court expressed confidence in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), stating it expects a fair and thorough probe without external interference. It clarified that ongoing proceedings in lower courts, including High Courts or trial courts, can continue based on merits despite the Supreme Court’s suo motu intervention. The hearing focused on preventing media trial and ensuring investigation integrity. Both sides were heard, including the Solicitor General representing the state. The Court’s directions are expected to strengthen the investigation process and reduce public narrative influence on the case.
