The defence team in the Tvisha Sharma murder case has petitioned for an extension of the 20‑minute jail meeting allotment, while the Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing on the case transfer and a bail plea on October 16.
Bhopal's Tvisha Sharma death case saw the defence counsel file a petition seeking a longer duration for the scheduled 20‑minute meeting with the accused inside jail. The lawyers argue that the brief window is insufficient for thorough discussion of the case facts and preparation of a robust defence.
The petition specifically requests the court to increase the allotted time, allowing the accused and his counsel to communicate more effectively without compromising procedural safeguards. The defence maintains that adequate interaction is essential for a fair trial.
Separately, the Supreme Court has listed the matter for a hearing on 16 October. The agenda includes consideration of a petition to transfer the case and a bail application pending before the Jabalpur High Court. The outcome of these proceedings could shape the next steps in the litigation.
Legal experts note that the request for extended jail meeting time reflects broader concerns about access to counsel in custodial settings, especially in high‑profile criminal matters.
