thebalanced.newsSupreme Court Declines Indrani Mukerjea's Fresh Plea to Travel Abroad in Sheena Bora Case
The Supreme Court on Friday declined to hear Indrani Mukerjea's fresh plea seeking permission to travel abroad in connection with the Sheena Bora murder case. The bench directed her to approach the trial court for relief, emphasizing that last year's order allowed such an application only at the trial level. Mukerjea, accused of killing her daughter, was granted bail in 2022 after over six years in custody. The court also urged the trial court to expedite proceedings and dispose of any travel application within four weeks.
