The Supreme Court has asked Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh to file a response to a petition seeking a trial in Delhi for the Tvisha Sharma murder case, while the victim’s father expressed concerns over a fair hearing in Bhopal.
The Supreme Court of India issued a notice directing Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh to submit their replies to a petition that seeks to have the Tvisha Sharma murder case tried in Delhi. The petition, filed by parties representing the victim’s family, argues that a trial in the capital would ensure a more impartial process.
The court’s order underscores the judiciary’s willingness to consider a change of venue, but it also requires the two respondents to present their objections or supporting statements within the stipulated time frame. No decision on relocating the trial has been taken yet; the matter remains pending further submissions.
Meanwhile, Tvisha Sharma’s father, speaking from Bhopal, warned that a shift of the trial could affect the fairness of the proceedings. He voiced apprehension that a Delhi trial might compromise the ability of local witnesses and evidence to be presented effectively, urging the court to ensure a just and transparent hearing.
