The father of the 17-year-old girl who was found dead on July 13 on the hostel premises, withdrew his petition from the Supreme court challenging the High Court order.

In his argument before SC today, he said, ‘’That since the post-mortem is over, the report and video should be given to the doctor of their choice for second opinion.’’
SC has said this issue can be raised before the High court. No need for SC intervention.
