SC stays operation of HC order on lodging FIR against BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain in rape case
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the operation of a Delhi High Court order relating to registration of an FIR against BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain on a woman's complaint alleging rape.
A bench headed by Justice U U Lalit issued notice and sought responses, including from the Delhi government, on Hussain's plea and posted it for hearing in the third week of September.
The high court on August 17 had dismissed Hussain's plea challenging a trial court order directing the Delhi Police to register an FIR against him, saying there was no perversity in the 2018 order, and vacated its earlier interim order staying the operation.
In 2018, a Delhi-based woman had approached a lower court seeking registration of an FIR against Hussain on her allegation of rape.
A magisterial court had on July 7, 2018, ordered the registration of an FIR against Hussain, saying a cognizable offence was made out in the complaint of the woman.
This was challenged by the BJP leader before a sessions court which had dismissed his plea.

FIR against 4 for duping builder of Rs 1.73 crore in GST payment scam
Mumbai (PTI): A criminal case has been registered against four persons for allegedly cheating a city-based construction contractor of Rs 1.73 crore by pocketing the money he had transferred to them for GST payment.
According to complainant S K Najbul, who runs a construction firm, he came in contact with Lallan Singh, who claimed to be a chartered accountant, three years ago.
Singh allegedly offered to handle his GST payments, and Najbul transferred money to him from time to time for this purpose, the complaint said.
In August last year, Najubul found out that his GST payment was outstanding. He then learnt that Singh was in jail in connection with another case.
He also found out that one of the accounts to which he had transferred money for GST payments belonged to Singh's family member, and the GST had not been actually paid.
A First Information Report was registered against Singh, his wife Sushma Angrakh, daughter-in-law Swati Angrakh and daughter Jyoti Angrakh for alleged cheating at Mulund police station on Wednesday. No arrest has been made yet, police said, adding that probe was underway.
