On Wednesday, 19 th August, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of a CBI investigation for the Sushant Singh Rajput case. This decision came in after the relentless demand for a CBI inquiry in the case by all the fans and well-wishers of the late actor. The Enforcement Directorate in the meanwhile has been carrying out investigations in the matter and has also questioned Sushant’s father to prove all his allegations against actress Rhea Chakraborty.
The latest in the matter is that Mr. KK Singh has now come out with a long statement where he mentions that he is the sole heir to his late son and that no lawyer, chartered accountant, or any other person is allowed to represent Sushant without his consent. According to CNN IBN 18, this statement comes after the news of some lawyers claiming to the media that Sushant had appointed them for the case.
The statement read, "It is hereby declared that I am on the legal heir of late Shri Sushant Singh Rajput and in that capacity, any arrangement that Sushant had during his lifetime for the engagement of any lawyer, Chartered accountant and other professional come to an end upon the death of Sushant and thereafter no lawyer, CA or other person is entitled to represent the estate of Sushant without my express consent. Recently, some lawyers have appeared in the media claiming themselves to be lawyers engaged by Sushant. They have talked on media about the alleged privileged communication between Sushant and them.
"Clearly such disclosure is barred by section 126 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 and the Bar Council of India Rules [Rule 17, Part VI, Chapter II], without my consent, as I am representing the estate of Sushant. I have not given any consent to any one of them to either continue them to represent Sushant or disclose any communication. It is is also made clear that only I and my daughters comprise the family of Sushant and we have authorized MR Varun Singh as our Advocate and through him Mr. Vikas Singh, Sr. advocate, to represent the family. Any other person claiming himself to be the family member does not have any consent."
