Supreme Court Sets Two-Week Deadline for Sanction to Prosecute Vijay Shah Over Remarks on Sofiya Qureshi
The Supreme Court on Sunday directed that a two-week deadline be set for granting sanction to prosecute Vijay Shah in connection with remarks made about actress Sofiya Qureshi. The apex court had earlier taken seriously the exception raised against Shah, noting the potential harm caused by the statements and the need for a thorough investigation.
In response, the Court ordered the constitution of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the matter in detail, ensuring that all aspects of the case are examined impartially. Authorities are expected to complete formalities for prosecution within the stipulated timeframe.
The Court’s directive underscores its commitment to protecting individual dignity while balancing the rights of free speech. Legal experts noted that the SIT’s investigation will be crucial in determining the nature and extent of Shah’s remarks and whether they warrant criminal proceedings. The two-week deadline is aimed at expediting the process and avoiding unnecessary delays in legal action.
