In Brief
The petitioner challenged orders passed by the Bombay High Court in a criminal matter involving allegations of sexual harassment and assault (IPC ss. 354, 354A, 323, 506, 509, 376). The Supreme Court transferred the criminal investigation to Delhi's Crime Branch for thorough examination. However, it declined to interfere with the High Court's order directing bailable warrants issued for the petitioner's disruption of court proceedings and refusal to accept a contempt notice. The Court dismissed the Special Leave Petitions without expressing views on the merits, while approving the investigation transfer.
