The CBI informed a Delhi court on Wednesday that it has appointed two Special Public Prosecutors (SPPs) in the Muzaffarpur shelter home sexual assault case, after which both sides were directed to "positively commence" arguments from the next date of hearing, March 2.
Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Kulshreshtha directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that if it wants to file an additional charge sheet in the matter, it has to be done within 15 days.
Advocates Amit Jindal and R N Sinha have been appointed as SPPs by the agency, who then informed the court that they need some time to prepare the arguments as the notification from the agency was received the night before.
The court then said: "Both the parties are directed to positively commence arguments on March 2."
