The matter is being heard by Justice Sarang Kotwal.

Adv Satish Maneshinde: Investigation is illegal for want of jurisdiction.

ASG: Copy of Petition not served to NCB

Maneshinde: We have served twice

Satish Maneshinde recounts that Rhea has been charged in the drugs case stating that she had procured drugs for consumption by Sushant Singh Rajput

All cases in relation to case re death of #SushantSinghRajput should be transferred to CBI, the SC has said: Maneshinde adds

Maneshinde: NCB has no jurisdiction to conduct this investigation

NCB case ought to have been transferred to CBI, he adds. Referring to the Supreme Court order, he asserts that SC has said any case relating to the case ought to be transferred to the CBI.

Maneshinde: If ASG wants to reply to the petition, he may choose to do so.

ASG: No service upon me. I will take a copy from my learned friend.

Maneshinde against reiterates that he has served copy.

ASG: I do not want to make an issue of the service

Maneshinde: NDPS is an Act under which CBI can investigate.

Section 27A should not be attracted (on merits of this case)

I will circulate compilation with all relevant orders and judgments to all.

Justice Kotwal: You may file a physical copy of the compilation bailable and non-bailable issues need to be addressed.

Maneshinde urges that he may be allowed to supply scanned copies since they are quite bulky.

Court remarks that the lawyers will have to appraise the Court on whether it is bailable or non-bailable offences charged, and whether Section 37 of NDPS Act will apply etc.

ASG Anil Singh: I will come on 29th with a clear stand on the bailability of the issue.

I have gone through all judgments (referred to by Maneshinde), but I need time to come to a stand

#BombayHighCourt says it will take up the bail applications filed by @Tweet2Rhea and Showik Chakraborty on September 29.

Justice Kotwal: On 29th, all the parties can start from the beginning. You will have to address the court on all the issues.
