A court here today pulled up the Delhi Police for delay in the proceedings in IPL spot-fixing case and warned that it would impose cost on it and adjourn the case "sine die".

"Take it for granted that if any application is received by me (after May 16) from defence counsel that the document is not complete, I will impose cost and will adjourn the case sine die. You (Police) are doing it for nine months," Additional Sessions Judge Bharat Parashar told the Special Cell of Delhi Police.

The court was irked over the delay in completion of the scrutiny of documents filed along with the charge sheets filed by the police in the case after some counsel appearing for the accused said they have not received the complete set of documents yet.
 

"I will not do this work of supplying documents. I have other important works to do," the judge said and directed the police to furnish and supply all the documents by May 16, the next date of hearing.

"The only concern for me is that for what I should adjourn the proceedings," the judge said.

Public prosecutor Rajiv Mohan, however, told the court that the police would file all documents before the it by the next date of hearing and would also supply them to the counsel for the accused.

Earlier, the court had expressed concern over "repeated adjournment" in the case and directed the police to supply the copies of charge sheet and other documents filed along with it to all accused, including suspended cricketers S Sreesanth and Ajit Chandila, by today.
