Rassana Case: Judgment to be pronounced on June 4
6/2/2019 10:18:52 PM
Early Times Report
Pathankote, June 2: The much publicised case of Kathua- Rassana murder and rape, which is going on day to day in the Court of Dr Tejwinder Singh Sessions Judge Pathnkote, could meet its fate on June 4, 2019 as per defence lawyer Mr A K Sawhney Advocate counsel for Tilak Raj.
He said that the after the prosecution evidence, he and other defence lawyers have finalised their arguments and now it is kept for judgment on 4th June 2019.
The Judgment would be historical in nature as in such a case where the trial was held day to day in camera as per the directions of the Supreme Court of India.
Infact the chargesheet was presented in Kathua but due to protests by the people of Jammu, Samba, Kathua demanding a CBI probe in this matter the father of the deceased approached the Supreme Court of India seeking transfer to Chandigarh. The Supreme Court of India keeping into consideration the distance and safety of all concerned transferred the case to the court of Sessions Judge Pathakote, who was directed to hold the trial on day to day basis.
It took almost an year now and the entire evidence and arguments are over.
A K Sawhney Advocate while briefing the reporter said that the judgment would be pronounced in this high profile case and there are many loop holes that could not be covered by the prosecution. He said even the date date of FIR and date of death of the deceased are unclear and prosecution is itself doubtful about these important dates.
He said that besides this his client has been charged with destruction of evidence in lieu of money but neither a single penny has been recorded nor money trail followed and regarding destruction of evidence it is all a false and botched up story. No evidence has been destroyed by his client and the allegation of washing of clothes of the deceased is mysterious according to Mr Sawhney he is a Police witness under attachment with Crime Branch and only to falsely depose before the Crime Branch and Court is a false and fabricated witness. He said the motive was pleaded and was never proved.
He said that the case has been given media glare by the vested interests and has political and religious overtones since the same was mishandled by the Crime Branch.
Mr Sawhney said that more details cannot be shared as the trial is still to be concluded and therefore still in camera till judgment is pronounced but he said that his client is innocent and has been falsely framed up and his client faith in the justice system and God.
