Chellaram Bijlani, 82, the father of Sunil and Mahesh, has in his application to the CJI stated that he is suffering from various ailments, including visual impairment and oral cancer, and lives with his 76-year-old wife, who is also ailing.
Stating that he was helpless due to old age and cancer, and as there was no male member in his family to take care of his medical needs, he wants a speedy trial in the case.
Lahoria was shot dead outside his office on February 16 last year. The Bijlani brothers are among the 13 persons arrested in this connection.
The Mumbai Crime Branch, which probed the case, filed its charge sheet in a sessions court last year.
