Fast track court to hear arguments in Delhi gangrape case on Thursday

Trial proceedings in the December 16th Delhi gangrape case will be held in-camera before a fast track court, which today decided to hear arguments on framing of charges against five accused on Thursday.

Upholding the previous order of a magistrate, the special fast track court judge said,only those who are connected with the case will stay in the courtroom.

Additional Sessions Judge Yogesh Khanna also decided to hear in-camera the arguments on framing of charges against the five accused on Thursday as the judicial records were sent by the magisterial court after concluding the procedural formalities. He also prohibited anyone from publishing and printing the proceedings.

Chief Justice of India Altamas Kabir had inaugurated the fast track court at Saket district courts complex earlier this month following a decision of the Delhi government in this regard.

Her male friend was also assaulted.The victim later died at a Singapore hospital.
