In Brief
Harita Sunil Parab filed a writ petition and special leave petitions challenging orders by the High Court of Bombay. In the writ petition, the Supreme Court directed the transfer of FIR No. 351/16 (alleging offences under IPC sections 354, 354A, 323, 506, 509, and 376) to Crime Branch Delhi for thorough investigation and directed submission of a report to the appropriate court. In the special leave petitions, the Court dismissed the challenges to the High Court's bailable warrant order issued due to the petitioner's alleged disruption of court proceedings and refusal to accept contempt notice. The Court declined to interfere, noting incomplete service and that it expressed no opinion on the factual merits of either matter."
