Reportedly, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to convey to the premier investigative agency to await the outcome of today’s hearing.
Notably, Nizam Pasha, appearing on the Kuki side appealed the court to prevent the CBI from recording the statements till the outcome of today’s hearing.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said it was done in good faith but he will convey to the CBI to refrain from recording the statements. The Supreme Court on July 31 said that the incident of sexual assault against the two women could not be justified by highlighting similar incidents in other states.
