After examining the case diary, the original copy of the investigation report, the government order related to the probe, and witness statements, the court dismissed the report, which had earlier been approved by the government.

The court said it would directly record the complainant's statement on the 30 August. Further proceedings will now be under the direct supervision of the court, which will also record witness statements itself.
