In a significant legal development, the Supreme Court on Monday rejected a petition seeking to challenge the Bombay High Court's decision to annul an FIR against nine individuals. The FIR was filed under various provisions of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities Act) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in the Mohan Delkar abetment to suicide case, which dates back to 2021.
The petition, brought forward by the son of the late MP Mohan Delkar, was dismissed by a bench headed by Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai. This ruling affirms the Bombay High Court's stance, marking an important conclusion in this legal saga.
Mohan Delkar, a prominent Lok Sabha MP from Dadra and Nagar Haveli, was found deceased in a Mumbai hotel room in 2021, with initial reports suggesting suicide. Born in December 1962 in Silvassa, Delkar was a seven-time Member of Parliament, remembered for his contributions to his constituency. (ANI)
