Chandigarh, July 15

The hearing in “cash-for-judge” scam has resumed after a year with the CBI special court summoning three witnesses in the case to appear on the next date of hearing — July 30.

The hearings were postponed for approximately a year due to the lockdown. When the hearing of the case began, Sukhpal Singh and Bhavnik Mehta, advocates, proxy counsel for Special Public Prosecutor for the CBI, made a request for adjournment. The CBI court stated in the order that the request for adjournment was allowed for today only and the proxy counsels were directed to inform the Special Public Prosecutor to appear on the adjourned date and continue the trial.

The court has again issued the summons to witnesses Arun Rawat, SC Dandriyal and Vipin Kumar after they failed to appear today. — TNS
