Chandigarh, January 18: Hearing on SPS Rathore’s pleas for anticipatory bail and quashing of the charge of abetment to suicide in Ruchika molestation case was today adjourned by the Punjab and Haryana High Court till January 25 even as the CBI opposed any relief to the tainted former DGP saying he might tamper with evidence and intimidate witnesses.
Justice Sabina adjourned the hearing on the three cases, including two anticipatory bail petitions in fresh FIRs levelling serious criminal charges against 68-year-old Rathore, after the former IPS officer’s lawyer-wife Abha pointed out that she had not been given the copies of the replies filed before the Court by Ruchika’s family lawyer Pankaj Bhardwaj and the CBI.
