Supreme Court Upholds High Court Order, Directs Goa Nightclub Fire Accused to Surrender
The Supreme Court dismissed pleas challenging the Bombay High Court's decision to set aside bail for three accused in the 2025 Goa nightclub fire that killed 25 people and injured 50. The accused—nightclub owners Saurav and Gaurav Luthra and partner Ajay Gupta—were directed to surrender within two weeks. The High Court found the trial court erred in granting bail, citing unauthorized operations and safety violations. The Goa government had challenged the initial bail order, and the Supreme Court urged expedited trial proceedings.
