Kochi: The Supreme Court rejected the request to change the trial court in the actress assault case. A bench headed by Justice Ajay Rastogi said that changing the trial court would create a wrong precedent and would not interfere with the High Court verdict.
The High Court rejected the plea of the actress to change the trial court. The actress approached the Supreme Court against this. The actress had argued in the court that if the present judge conducts the trial, she will not get justice and is worried that there will not be a fair trial.
It was alleged in the petition that the eighth accused Dileep had a close relationship with the trial court judge and her husband and there was evidence of this in the voice clips obtained by the police. But the High Court rejected the petition on the grounds that no evidence could be produced.
