The Supreme Court has reserved its verdict on a plea challenging the quashing of an FIR against nine individuals, including Praful Khoda Patel, linked to the alleged suicide of former MP Mohan Delkar.

The Supreme Court on Monday reserved judgment regarding a plea contesting a prior decision to quash the FIR against nine individuals, among them Praful Khoda Patel, linked to the alleged suicide of ex-MP Mohan Delkar.
The plea was against the Bombay High Court's 2022 ruling that dismissed charges, which were initially based on Delkar's suicide note alleging harassment by prominent figures.
During proceedings, the bench detailed Delkar's mental state and possible harassment, with discussions pivoting on whether the suicide note supported charges of abetment. The lawyers involved were asked to file written submissions, with a deadline set for August 8.
