High Court Overturns Order Allowing Indrani Mukerjea To Travel Abroad

The Bombay High Court on Friday (September 27, 2024) has set aside the special court’s order that permitted Indrani Mukherjea to travel to Spain and the U.K.

A single bench judge, Justice Shyam Chandak, refused to grant her permission and pronounced the verdict on a plea filed by the CBI. Mukerjea is accused of killing her daughter Sheena Bora. She wanted to travel abroad for paying her property tax, updating her bank accounts and will by removing her ex-husband Peter Mukherjea from the documents.

The CBI had petitioned against the special court order on the grounds that Mukerjea was facing trial for a serious offence and that there was a possibility of her fleeing the country
