EX-MLA PANKAJ PUSHKAR SAID IT TOOK 7 YEARS TO CONCLUDE THE ’00 BLASTS, CLAIMED SIMILAR DELAY ‘LIKELY’ AGAIN
The mere apprehension of delay in a trial that has not yet begun cannot justify judicial supervision, the Delhi High Court said on Wednesday as it declined to entertain a petition seeking the appointment of a committee to monitor the Red Fort blast trial and ensure its completion within six months.
A bench of chief justice DK Upadhyay and justice Tushar Rao Gedela was hearing a petition filed by former MLA Pankaj Pushkar, who argued that the December 2000 Red Fort blast case had taken seven years to conclude at the trial court stage, and that similar delays “were likely this time” as well.
