A woman, who has accused self-styled preacher Daati Maharaj of sexually assaulting her, on Tuesday approached the Delhi High Court seeking direction to the CBI to file a status report in the case.

In the plea, the woman also asked the high court to direct the CBI, which is investigating the case, to file a supplementary charge sheet before a trial court.

It would be listed for hearing in January when the court reopens after winter vacation.

She referred to the high court's October 3, 2018 order by which the bench had said, "Let the matter be transferred to CBI. It can file a supplementary charge sheet. CBI to submit a preliminary report in three weeks (on status of probe)."
