The Bombay High Court yesterday stayed the trial against actor Sooraj Pancholi, accused of abetting actress Jiah Khan’s suicide, and set aside June 7 as the next date on which it will hear a petition filed by the Jiah’s mother Rabia seeking Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the case. A vacation bench comprising Justices BR Gavai and Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi stayed the trail.

On May 20, the special women’s court had adjourned the trial till June 10 after Rabia sought to move Bombay High Court seeking stay in the trial following the pending hearing of her petition.
