New Delhi, The Supreme Court has refused to entertain Indrani Mukerjea's fresh plea to travel abroad, citing her ongoing trial in the Sheena Bora murder case.
A bench of Justices M M Sundresh and N Kotiswar Singh told senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani that the apex court had already asked her to move the trial court for any relief.
Last year, the top court had dismissed a similar plea by Mukerjea, observing that there was no guarantee she would return.
The trial against her is at an advanced stage, and the apex court had directed the lower court to expedite the hearing and conclude it within a year.
Mukerjea was arrested in August 2015 after the murder of Bora came to light. The Supreme Court granted her bail in May 2022 after she spent more than six years in custody.
Bora, 24, was strangled to death in a car in Mumbai in April 2012, allegedly by Mukerjea, her then-driver Shyamvar Rai and former husband Sanjeev Khanna.
