In this case, Yadav was accused of being linked to a party where snake venom and illegal drugs were allegedly supplied and consumed. Multiple FIRs were registered in connection with the matter, leading to serious charges against him.
The Allahabad High Court had earlier dismissed Yadav’s request to cancel the case. It stated that the allegations needed a proper legal examination. Following that, Yadav approached the Supreme Court. A bench led by Justices M M Sundresh and Joymalya Bagchi issued notices to the Uttar Pradesh government and the complainant. They have asked for their response.
The top court has now ordered a temporary halt on the proceedings.
According to reports, Yadav was chargesheeted under several laws. This includes provisions of the Wildlife Protection Act, the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
Elvish Yadav has denied all allegations. His legal team argued that the informant who filed the case was not even a competent authority under the Wildlife Protection Act. They also pointed out that no snake, narcotic substance, or psychotropic material was ever recovered from him.
