On
Thursday
(January
7,
2021),
the
Bombay
High
Court
reserved
its
order
on
the
plea
filed
by
late
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
sisters,
to
quash
the
FIR
filed
by
Rhea
Chakraborty.
While
hearing
the
plea,
the
bench
comprising
of
Justices
SS
Shinde
and
MS
Karnik
praised
Sushant's
work
in
MS
Dhoni:
The
Untold
Story.
They
observed
that
the
late
actor
was
a
sober,
innocent
and
very
good
human
being.
"From
his
face,
one
can
make
out
that
he
was
innocent," the
bench
said.
The
judges
further
added,
"Everybody
liked
him
especially
in
that
MS
Dhoni
film."
For
the
unversed,
Rhea
Chakraborty
had
filed
a
complaint
on
September
7,
2020
against
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
sisters
Priyanka,
Meetu
and
a
doctor
from
Delhi's
Ram
Manohar
Lohia
hospital,
for
allegedly
forging
and
fabricating
prescription
for
anti-depressants
for
the
actor.
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
family
lawyer
Vikas
Singh
who
appeared
on
behalf
of
the
late
actor's
sisters,
argued
that
the
medicines
could
have
been
referred
to
by
doctors
through
telemedicine
as
per
the
ICMR
telemedicine
guidelines.
He
also
said
that
this
is
a
part
of
the
main
case
being
investigated
by
the
Central
Bureau
of
Investigation
(CBI).
Rhea
Chakraborty's
lawyer,
advocate
Satish
Maneshinde
sought
dismissal
of
the
petition
and
said
that
one
of
the
circumstances
that
may
have
led
to
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
death
was
the
"dangerous
cocktail
of
drugs
and
narcotic
substances
and
medicines."
Maneshinde
said,
"I
pointed
out
to
his
household
help
that
he
was
mixing
narcotic
substances
with
the
medicines
that
he
was
taking.
It
was
going
to
be
a
dangerous
cocktail.
I
was
aware
that
he
was
taking
medications
and
I
had
an
altercation
with
him
on
that,
but
I
was
not
aware
of
the
prescription.
When
the
prescription
was
leaked
in
social
media,
I
realised
it
was
on
advice
if
his
sisters.
So
I
realised
that
it
could
be
a
cause
of
his
suicide.
I
have
said
in
my
complaint,
that
these
medicines
were
prescribed
by
a
doctor
who
had
never
prescribed
him
before.
They
were
prescribed
without
seeing
him
physically.
Telemedicine
can
be
prescribed
only
with
prior
consultation
with
the
doctor."
He
further
added,
"My
complaint
is
in
relation
to
a
forged
prescription
of
medicines.
The
circumstances
that
I
am
pointing
out
that
should
also
be
examined.
His
family
is
concerned
with
the
cause
of
his
death.
They
say
I
am
responsible,
I
am
giving
different
circumstances
for
investigation."
The
Bombay
High
Court
has
now
asked
all
the
parties
to
submit
written
statements.
Notably,
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
was
found
dead
in
his
Bandra
residence
on
June
14
last
year.
The
CBI,
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
and
the
Enforcement
Directorate
(ED)
are
currently
probing
his
death
case.
