This was reported as per Hindustan Times, as they quoted lawyer Abhinav Sood who explained the whole controversy. Now the latest update on this matter is that the court has given Raveena, Farah and other relief in this matter. The Punjab and Haryana High Court said that they won’t be called anymore in this matter for investigation, at least till the next hearing which is on July 14.
This secision has come after Justice Manisha Batra-led bench was told that that Punjab and other respondents had begun to issue notices under Section 35 of the BNS, calling them for further investigation in the case. Thus, as quoted by The Tribune, this decision was made and the court has said, “Till the next date of hearing, no such step shall be taken by the respondent.”
