New Delhi:The Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay an arrest warrant against Border Security Force DIG K S Padhi, who is an accused in the Srinagar sex scandal.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had issued the warrant after Padhi, who is currently posted in Assam, failed to appear for an identification parade.
Padhi is one of the 11 people whom 15-year-old Yasmeena has accused of rape. Yasmeena has alleged that the 11 knew Sabeena, the alleged kingpin of the racket, and visited her house.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has dismissed a petition filed by Deputy Superintendent of Police Mohd Ashraf Mir, also alleged to be involved in the Jammu and Kashmir sex scandal.
The petition challenged the Jammu and Kashmir High Court order, which refused to allow anticipatory bail or regular bail by any subordinate court in this case, without its permission.
An order to this effect was passed by a vacation Bench comprising Justice Arijit Pasayat and Justice C K Thakker.
Mir is one of three persons who had failed to appear for a Test Identification Parade despite being issued two notices by the CBI.
The CBI recently took over the investigation of the case following a request from the state government.
