The Bombay High Court, on Thursday, dismissed the application filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) requesting a stay on the release of the documentary series titled "The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth.''

A division bench comprising Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Manjusha Deshpande viewed the show and determined that it did not contain anything prejudicial to the ongoing trial in the murder case of Sheena Bora, where the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has implicated Mukerjea as the primary accused.

"We didn't think there is anything. We initially thought there maybe something and hence we also saw (the series). Public perception is the least of our concerns. What even she (Indrani) has said (in the series), everything is in public domain''

The CBI appealed to the High Court after the special CBI court had denied its request to halt the release of a documentary series. In its submission, the CBI argued that the series includes interviews with the accused and several witnesses.

Additional Solicitor General Devang Vyas, representing the agency, contended that since the CBI had only viewed the trailer, it was unaware of how many witnesses were featured in the series.

Subsequently, on February 22, the High Court proposed to Netflix to organize a screening for the involved lawyers and judges to allow them to assess the series firsthand. As a result, Netflix postponed the release of the series.
