Allahabad High Court Revisits Akanksha Dubey Death Case, Final Hearing On May 22

The Delhi High Court on Friday deferred hearing on the CBI’s petition challenging the trial court order discharging accused in the excise policy case to May 11.

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma said she was awaiting consent from senior lawyers to represent AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Durgesh Pathak, who have chosen neither to appear personally nor appoint counsel to contest the CBI’s plea.

“There are three persons who are not represented. I am awaiting the consent of some persons who will be representing them... I will appoint on Monday... Arguments will begin on Tuesday,“ said Justice Sharma.
