Shah was arrested on July 9, two days after he allegedly rammed his BMW car into a two-wheeler in Mumbai's Worli area, killing Kaveri Nakhwa (45) and injuring her husband Pradeep
The Bombay High Court has issued notice in the petition filed by Mihir Shah, son of Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah and accused in the BMW hit-and-run case.
The division bench of the high court, comprising Justice Bharathi Dangre and Justice Manjusha Deshpande issued notice on Wednesday to the police.
Shah was arrested on July 9, two days after he allegedly rammed his BMW car into a two-wheeler in Mumbai's Worli area, killing Kaveri Nakhwa (45) and injuring her husband Pradeep.
Shah is accused of speeding off towards the Bandra-Worli Sea Link after the accident, even as the woman remained on the bonnet of the car and then got entangled in its wheels for a distance of more than 1.5 kilometres.
The accident occurred on Annie Besant Road as Mihir Shah was returning from a long drive at Marine Drive following a night of partying in Juhu.
Rajesh Shah was earlier granted bail by the Mumbai Court. However, his son, Mihir Shah remains in jail.
The police have been directed by the high court to file their reply by August 29.
Shah has claimed that his arrest violated Section 50 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
He contended that the grounds for his arrest were not communicated to him at the time of the arrest, thereby violating the procedure established under the code.
