Sowjanya case

The PIL was filed by Naveen Kumar Neriya, Girish Bharadwaj and Vinayaka Friends Trust, Balnadu of Puttur.

The court which heard the applicants said that only the government, original complainants or the aggrieved family can file an appeal in the case wherein the CBI court has acquitted the lone accused in the case. There is also scope to consider the loopholes in the investigation in the case.

Though the intention of the petitioners is good, everything has to be within the purview of law, the court said and dismissed the petition.

Senior advocate Arun Shyam argued for the petitioners.
