The Bombay High Court adjourned its virtual hearings in various cases on Tuesday in view of the heavy rains that lashed the city overnight and in the morning.

Five benches of the high court, including a bench headed by Chief Justice Dipankar Datta, adjourned the matters as many staff members could not reach the court in south Mumbai, an official said.

The high court will hear the matters on Wednesday, the official said.

The bench headed by Chief Justice Dipankar Datta was to hear a public interest litigation filed by one Sameet Thakkar, seeking probe in actor Sushant Singh Rajput''s death to be transferred from Mumbai Police to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or a special investigation team (SIT).

Heavy rainfall in the city since Monday night led to water-logging in several low-lying areas and affected local train services and road traffic movement. 

ANI wrote in a tweet, “Hearing in PIL filed in Bombay High Court, seeking transfer of Sushant Singh Rajput's death case to the Central Bureau of Investigation, postponed due to heavy rains in Mumbai.”
