- •Darshan's lawyer filed an application in the 59th Sessions Court to postpone Pradosh's confessional statement by one week in the Renukaswamy murder case.
- •The application requests a delay in recording the statement to allow time for an appeal to be filed in the Supreme Court.
- •Darshan's lawyer, Hasmad Pasha, argued that the High Court order copy was received only today, and they intend to challenge it in the Supreme Court.
- •Pasha contended that the prosecution is rushing to record Pradosh's statement and requested that other witnesses' statements proceed while Pradosh's is postponed.
- •ASPS Sachin, representing the government, argued that Pradosh was already summoned on September 24 and that the claim of not receiving the order copy earlier is inaccurate.
Key Questions Answered
Darshan's lawyer, Hasmad Pasha, requested a one-week postponement because they intend to file an appeal in the Supreme Court challenging the recent High Court order.
ASPS Sachin argued that the application should be dismissed, noting that order copies are uploaded online daily, accused lawyers lack the authority to dictate witness order, and delays could drag on for months.
Darshan's lawyer suggested that the prosecution should proceed with taking statements from other witnesses while postponing Pradosh's statement to be recorded as the seventh witness.
