Goa nightclub fire case: SC upholds HC order cancelling bail of club owners

The Supreme Court of India upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to revoke the bail of three owners of a Goa nightclub involved in a fatal 2025 fire that killed 25 people. The court dismissed appeals by Saurabh Luthra, Gaurav Luthra, and Ajay Gupta, directing them to surrender within two weeks and urging the lower court to expedite the trial. Legal representatives argued the case involves alleged negligence rather than intentional harm, citing legal provisions like Sections 304 and 304A of the Indian Penal Code. The high court had previously ruled that the trial court failed to adequately assess evidence showing the establishment operated without proper licenses and posed significant safety risks.
