The Supreme Court on 26th March dismissed a petition by Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister, Priyanka Singh, against a recent refusal by the Bombay high court to quash an FIR lodged by Rhea Chakraborty accusing her of getting bogus medical prescription via telemedicine. A bench of Chief Justice of India, S.A. Bobde, and Justices A.S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramanian dismissed in just one line her Special Leave Petition.
The high court had in February quashed the same FIR against Sushant’s other sister, Meetu Singh, as it was based on only suspicions and vague allegatios but in Priyanka’s case, the court said, “We cannot overlook the serious allegations made in the complaint and material on record and the fact that investigation is in progress.” The high court order added, “The complaint primarily proceeds on the allegation that the banned medicines prescribed by Dr. Tarun Kumar was at the behest of petitioner no. 1 (Priyanka) who had knowledge that the banned medicine and heavy doses of medicine may result in chronic anxiety attack which may damage the health of Sushant Singh Rajput.”
Priyanka had approached the apex court with an SLP for permission to challenge the HC judgement. But she did not get any relief.
