This order came a week after the High Court cancelled the lookout circular (LoC) issued by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Rhea, Showik, and their father in 2020 in connection with the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput
“An LOC cannot be issued as a matter of course, but only when there is/are reason/(s) to issue it i.e. when a person deliberately evades arrest or does not appear before the trial court or for any other reason,” said a division bench of justice Revati Mohite Dere and justice Manjusha Deshpande and added once issued, an LOC cannot be kept pending indefinitely
The Bombay High Court reserved its order on Rhea Chakraborty's plea to annul look-out circulars issued against her and her family by the CBI during the Sushant Singh Rajput case investigation. The court questioned the CBI's justification for the LOCs and expressed concern over the delay in filing a chargesheet.
The Bombay High Court has granted a one-week suspension of the look-out-circular (LOC) against Rhea Chakraborty, allowing her to travel abroad for a meet-and-greet function in Dubai. Chakraborty had approached the court seeking the suspension of the LOC issued in connection to the case registered in Patna related to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The CBI had objected, stating that Chakraborty was no longer the brand ambassador of the pet food company, but the court granted the suspension.
