Overview
- Delivering its order on December 24, a division bench led by Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar dismissed the petition seeking to revive the FIR against the JSW Group chief.
- The court declined requests to transfer the probe to the CBI or a court‑monitored SIT, holding that such intervention was unwarranted on the material presented.
- A Metropolitan Magistrate had in April 2024 accepted a B‑Summary report, with police citing delayed reporting, failure to record a Section 164 statement, and non‑cooperation.
- The closure report also referenced travel and hotel records that, according to the Investigating Officer, did not place Jindal at locations named in the complaint on key dates.
- The bench noted its limited scope to override the police’s opinion and recorded that the complainant had indicated she would not pursue the case, while Jindal has denied the allegations.
