Nagpur: The Tehsil Police in Nagpur on Friday filed a revision petition at the Sessions Court against the First Class Judicial Magistrate (JMFC) Tuesday’s order which termed arrest of Ritu alias Ritika Dinesh Maloo unconstitutional in the Ram Jhula hit-and-run case and ordered her immediate release.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Zone III Goraksh Bhamre , a revision petition was filed before the Sessions Court. After nearly four months on the run, the police arrested Ritika Maloo on Monday, July 1, and produced her in court on Tuesday, where the police sought custody. However, following arguments from both sides, Judge A V Khedkar-Garad, 7th JMFC (Court No 4) Nagpur, had declared Ritu’s arrest unlawful and ordered her immediate release. The court had reasoned that Ritu should have been arrested only after her bail was revoked by the court that originally granted it. This procedural step was not followed which rendered her arrest illegal.
