The Supreme Court on Friday sought the response of the Telangana Government and Bollywood producer Karim Morani on a plea seeking cancellation of his regular bail granted in a rape case.
Morani has been accused by a 25-year-old woman of "aggravated", "brutal rape" over a period of six months.The woman has claimed in her petition that she was raped under threat of elimination by the underworld and circulation of her nude pictures possibly taken during alleged assaults. A Bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud issued notice to the Telangana Government and Morani and sought their response in six weeks.
The apex court on September 22 last year had dismissed the plea of Morani challenging the Hyderabad High Court verdict cancelling his anticipatory bail in the case.
It had asked the film producer to surrender before the Telangana Police in connection with the case.
