The accused official in connection with the murder of a seven-year-old student of the Ryan International School today moved the Supreme Court seeking transfer of the case to Delhi's Saket court, alleging the bar has restrained lawyers from representing the accused in the sensational case.
Senior advocate K.T.S. Tusli will be representing the Ryan International School, Gurugram in the Supreme Court in connection with the case.
Tulsi has requested the apex court to transfer the case from Haryana's Sohna to Delhi's Saket Court.
A bench, comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices Amitava Roy and A.M. Khanwilkar considered Tulsi's submission that "the fundamental right of a person to be represented by a lawyer of his choice was getting infringed."
The top court will now hear the matter on Monday.
Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court will today hear an intervention application of the complainant at 3 p.m. in connection with the case.
