Supreme Court Extends Sheena Bora Murder Trial Deadline by Nine Months

The Supreme Court has extended the deadline for the Sheena Bora murder trial by nine months. Indrani Mukerjea, the main suspect, may apply to travel abroad. The case emerged in 2015 after Shyamvar Rai disclosed the murder. All accused, including Peter Mukerjea, are presently on bail.

The Supreme Court has approved an additional nine months for the completion of the Sheena Bora murder case trial, setting a firm deadline that rules out any further extensions.

The decision was made by a bench of Justices MM Sundresh and N Kotiswar Singh following a request from the Special Judge of the City Civil and Sessions Court, Greater Bombay.

Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused, has been granted the liberty to file a new application for international travel. The murder surfaced in 2015 after the arrest of co-accused Shyamvar Rai, who later turned approver. All suspects, including Peter Mukerjea, are currently on bail.
