The prime accused in the Worli hit-and-run case, Mihir Shah, and his driver, Rajrishi Bidwat, have approached the Supreme Court, challenging the Bombay High Court’s rejection of their bail petition. Shah and Bidwat, through their lawyers, have filed a special leave petition in the apex court. A special leave petition is filed in Supreme Court when the petitioner wishes to appeal against a judgment passed by lower courts.

On November 25, a division bench of the high court dismissed the bail plea of the accused, stating that it was making a special exception considering the facts of the case. The bench further stated that it was aware of the rights of the accused, but the rights of the victim should also be prioritised.
