Supreme Court Awaits Governor's Decision on Prosecution Sanction for MP Minister Vijay Shah
The Madhya Pradesh government has informed the Supreme Court that a decision on sanctioning prosecution against Minister Vijay Shah for his remarks about Colonel Sofiya Qureshi is pending with the Governor. The Special Investigation Team has completed its probe, and a chargesheet will be filed if sanction is granted; otherwise, a closure report will follow. Shah has publicly apologized and challenged the High Court's suo motu FIR registration. The Governor recently approved the Cabinet's recommendation denying prosecution sanction, potentially ending the case.
