Srinagar, September 08: The Jammu and Kashmir High Court today reserved the judgement on the bail applications of two police officers, accused of destroying evidence in Shopian double rape and murder case.
The single bench comprising Justice Sunil Hali reserved the judgement after hearing arguments from the defence counsel Aseem Mehrotra, representing the two suspended police officers — then Superintendent of Police (SP), Shopian, Javid Iqbal Matoo and his deputy Rohit Baskotra.
Mr Mehrotra could not plead the case yesterday when the court heard the High Court Bar Association (HCBA) president Mian Abdul Qayoum, who opposed the bail.
