"We will get an adjournment (from the special court). This court (the HC) may hear the matter on Wednesday and until then we will not proceed with framing of charges," Advocate Sandesh Patil, the NIA lawyer, said in the court
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) told the Bombay High Court on Friday that charges against the accused in the Elgar Parishad-Maoists links case will not be framed till August 25. The framing of charges — after which a trial starts — at the special NIA court was to take place on August 23, but the accused's lawyers moved the high court saying that they had not yet received certain key documents from the prosecution. Senior advocate Yug Chaudhry, who is representing activist Sudha Bharadwaj, told the HC that she and other accused were yet to receive a copy of draft charges submitted by the NIA.More Related News
