The High Court has issued a formal notice to the Attorney General of India, seeking his response to a plea filed for the release of Sachin Waze, a former Mumbai police officer. Waze, who was arrested in connection with a series of high-profile cases, including the Antilia bomb scare and the death of businessman Mansukh Hiran, is currently facing multiple criminal charges.
The court’s notice follows a petition seeking Waze’s release on grounds that he has been in custody for a prolonged period. Waze, once a prominent member of the Mumbai police force, was dismissed from service following his involvement in controversial cases. The petition argues that continued detention without trial is a violation of his rights.
The Attorney General is expected to present his arguments and provide a legal position on the case in the upcoming hearings. The court’s decision on this matter could have significant implications, given the high-profile nature of Waze's cases and his involvement in law enforcement.
