casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court heard Special Leave Petitions filed by the State of West Bengal against Akash Chawla concerning hotel licensing and regulatory compliance. The Court directed the State to file a further affidavit identifying officials responsible for monitoring, granting, and renewing hotel licenses, and clarifying what post-incident verification actions were taken for unlicensed or expired-license hotels. The Court will examine whether these officials can be added as additional accused under Section 61 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and adjourned the matter to 29th April 2026, with respondents permitted to file counter-affidavits meanwhile. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
