In reference to the UT administration’s notification that was out on February 11, 2014, any heinous crime involving a woman must be heard by a woman judge, thus the DSP (East) sought shifting the case to the special court for crime against women.
The sessions judge will hear the matter on Monday after which the bail plea is likely to be heard on Tuesday.
To the plea Defence Counsel Surya Prakash said, “We have no objection but the Chandigarh Police are using different ways to delay the process since the accused has already been in jail for a while.”
