Shah was arrested on July 9, two days after the incident in Worli that killed 45-year-old Kaveri Nakhwa. In his habeas corpus (produce the person) petition filed in the high court last week, Shah claimed that his detention was illegal. The plea is expected to be heard by a division bench of Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande.
Shah, 24, is not only accused of killing Nakhwa, but also of speeding off towards Bandra Worli Sea Link even as the victim remained on the bonnet of the car and then got entangled in its wheels. Shah was under the influence of alcohol and had fled from the scene. Along with Shah, his father Rajesh Shah and their driver Rajrishi Bidawat were arrested in the case.
The forensic report of Mihir Shah ruled out claims of drunken driving. According to the report, the blood and urine samples of Shah tested negative for alcohol, suggesting that he was not intoxicated at the time of the incident. However, police sources said that since Shah was apprehended approximately 58 hours after the incident, the delay may have allowed any alcohol in his body to be flushed out.
Shah faces charges of culpable homicide. The Bombay High Court is expected to hear his plea on Wednesday. Shah has sought immediate release from detention.
The Mumbai BMW hit-and-run case has been a high-profile case in the city, with many calling for justice for the victim and her family. The case has also raised questions about the influence of wealth and power in the city's justice system.
The Bombay High Court is the highest court in the state of Maharashtra, India. It has jurisdiction over the city of Mumbai and the surrounding areas.
