The high court had also directed a CBI probe against the ex-SP MLA from Madhya Pradesh.
Samrite had then approached the apex court against the high court's order.
Rejecting his plea, the Supreme Court said, “the petition filed by him was not bonafide” and there was no case of illegal confinement as the girl, who was allegedly kidnapped, had made no complaint.
The bench, however, said that the cost imposed by the high court was exorbitant and reduced it. It said that the CBI will continue with its probe against Samrite and other persons who are involved in filing of the frivolous petition and asked it to submit a report within six months.
The apex court on October 1 had reserved its order on the plea challenging the March 7, 2011 order of the Allahabad High Court.
