The Bombay High Court has asked Rabiya Khan, the mother of actress Jiah Khan, to file her reply to a petition filed by Sooraj Pancholi, the accused, seeking to expedite the trial against him. Pancholi had been charged with abetting her suicide in 2013, and had sought to expedite the trial, and had approached the High Court for a direction to the sessions court handling the case.
Earlier, Rabiya Khan was against the CBI’s agreement with the findings of Mumbai Police that Jiah committed suicide and was not murdered. This petition was dismissed by the High Court.
