Chandigarh, April 05: The Punjab and Haryana High Court today adjourned till July 19 the hearing on two FIRs filed against former DGP SPS Rathore in the Ruchika molestation case after the CBI sought more time to conduct the probe.
Justice Sabina adjourned the case after the CBI counsel told the court that the agency needed four weeks time to file the status report.
68-year-old Rathore, who had two months back sustained injuries in a knife attack by a “psychologically imbalanced” youth outside a District Court here, was not present in the High Court today though his lawyer-wife Abha attended the proceedings.
Ruchika’s family lawyer Pankaj Bhardwaj and Anand Prakash, father of the lone eyewitness of the molestation incident, Aradhna, were also present in the court.
