No Remorse: MP High Court Quashes Bail of Ex-Judge in Twisha Sharma Death Case The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Thursday revoked the anticipatory bail granted to retired district judge Giribala Singh in the high-profile dowry death case of Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old woman found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal on May 12. The court’s decision to quash the bail order, issued just hours after the FIR was registered against Singh, sparked significant legal and public debate. The order was delivered by Justice Devnarayan Mishra, who criticized the trial court for failing to adequately assess the gravity of the allegations and the evidence collected during the investigation. The case centers on the death of Twisha Sharma, whose husband, Samarth Singh, and mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, were charged under Sections 80(2), 85, and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, as well as Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. The FIR was registered on May 12, and within hours, the Bhopal Sessions Court granted anticipatory bail to Giribala Singh, a decision that drew widespread scrutiny. The High Court’s intervention came after petitions filed by Twisha Sharma’s father, Navnidhi Sharma, and the State Government challenged the bail order, which was issued on May 15 by the 10th Additional Sessions Judge. During the hearing, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Madhya Pradesh Government, argued that the manner in which anticipatory bail was granted raised serious questions about judicial discretion. He contended that the trial court did not consider the material evidence or the seriousness of the allegations against Giribala Singh.#central_bureau_of_investigation #madhya_pradesh_high_court #giribala_singh #twisha_sharma #navnidhi_sharma
No 2nd Autopsy For Twisha Sharma, Court Rejects Family's Request A local court in Bhopal has denied the family's request for a second autopsy of Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old woman who died by hanging at her marital home on May 12. The court ruled that the body could be preserved anywhere within Madhya Pradesh, rejecting the family's plea to conduct a second post-mortem examination. While the police had previously stated they had no objection to a second post-mortem, the court's decision has left the family's demands unmet. The family of Twisha Sharma, including her father Navnidhi Sharma, has alleged significant lapses in the investigation. They pointed out that the First Information Report (FIR) was registered three days after her death, raising concerns about the delay in official action. Additionally, the family claims that investigators failed to provide the material allegedly used in the hanging during the initial post-mortem examination. These discrepancies have fueled suspicions of procedural negligence and prompted further scrutiny of the case. Twisha's lawyer has raised several critical issues during the proceedings. One major concern is the lack of detailed documentation of injuries found on her body in the post-mortem report. Another serious discrepancy highlighted is the mismatch between her height as recorded during the post-mortem and the height mentioned in the police report. These inconsistencies have added to the family's frustration and their belief that the investigation is incomplete. The case has taken a troubling turn as unanswered questions persist. The family alleges that key evidence, such as a missing belt, was not accounted for during the initial post-mortem.#all_india_institute_of_medical_sciences #samarth_singh #twisha_sharma #navnidhi_sharma #rekha_sharma
