Sheena Bora Murder Case : Indrani Mukerjea Approaches Supreme Court Seeking Permission To Travel Abroad

Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused in the high-profile murder case of Sheena Bora, has approached the Supreme Court seeking permission to travel to Spain and the United Kingdom (UK).She filed a Special Leave Petition against the Bombay High Court's order which denied her permission to travel abroad. Mukerjea submitted that she was a British Citizen seeking permission to visit Spain and her home country to take care of some pending works which cannot be transacted without her presence. The pending works were detailed as the need to activate certain bank accounts for which biometrics are necessary, the appointment of a real estate agent, repairs and maintenance of properties etc. She also mentioned the need to update her Will by removing the name of her ex-husband.It was in May 2022 that the Supreme Court granted her bail considering her incarceration for nearly 6.5 years as an undertrial in the case concerning the murder of her daughter Sheena Bora. The bail conditions required her to deposit her passport and not to leave India without the permission of the trial court.In July 2024, the trial court permitted her to travel abroad. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) challenged the trial court's order and the same was overturned by the Bombay High Court."No reasonable ground is made out for permitting her to travel to abroad," the High Court said while adding that the statutory authorities could support the accused if she wanted to execute her works from India.The petitioner contended that she had not violated any of the bail conditions and that there was no reason to apprehend that she would abscond. "It is most pertinent to note that the Petitioner is having Assets in India running her business solely. Hence, apprehensions regarding her running away do not hold any water and are absolutely out of the question," the plea stated.The petitoner is represented by Advocate Sana Khan and AoR Sandeep Singh.
