The Delhi High Court has taken a significant step in addressing the legal battle involving businessman Samir Modi, issuing a notice concerning his plea to quash an FIR related to an alleged rape case.

The FIR was lodged at the New Friends Colony Police Station, and Modi, who was arrested upon returning from London on September 18, was subsequently granted bail by the Saket District Court a week later. The High Court has scheduled the matter for further hearing on January 12, 2026.
