The Delhi High Court Wednesday dismissed a plea by an Uttar Pradesh Police constable challenging framing of charges against him for the alleged murder of the Unnao rape survivor's father.
Justice Suresh Kumar Kait denied the relief to Amir Khan, who is in judicial custody and sought quashing of framing of charges, including murder and criminal conspiracy, against him, alleging that the August 13 order of a trial court judge was "illegal, improper, prejudicial and against established principles of criminal procedure code".
The detailed order of the Delhi High Court is awaited.
Khan, in his plea, filed through advocate Arun Khatri, has said "the trial judge in the impugned proceedings order and charges framed admitted that there is no role of the petitioner in the conspiracy of assaulting/ beatings to the survivor's father. Thus, making the police officials including petitioner (Khan) liable for murder is untenable illegal."
