NEW DELHI:

A bench comprising justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan further directed the Delhi high court registrar general to ensure proper video-conferencing facilities in Tihar jail where Malik is lodged in a separate terror financing case.

Both high court registrars were directed to file the status reports on February 18 by the bench, which posted the hearing on the CBI plea on February 21.

"We have perused the observations made by the (special) judge (of the Jammu court). At two places, he has recorded that the video-conference system in his court was not functioning properly," the court said.
