A Delhi court today granted some more time to the prosecution to file written submissions on framing of charges against journalist Syed Mohammad Kazmi who is the lone accused in the Israeli diplomat attack case.
Additional Sessions Judge A K Garg granted time to the prosecution to file its submissions and fixed the matter for July 16.
The court had on June 5 also directed the prosecution to file before it the written submissions on framing of charges against Kazmi after having heard oral arguments and had rejected plea for any further opportunity to make oral arguments.
On the previous date of hearing, Kazmi's counsel had claimed "the international petroleum lobby, crime syndicate and some rogue elements in the government and police had carried out the attack to spoil the relations between India and Iran."
He had said Kazmi has been implicated and alleged the Special Cell of Delhi Police, which has been investigating the case, was also acting against the country's interests.
Kazmi is the lone accused in the February, 2012 attack on Israeli diplomat Tal Yehoshua's car in which she and three others sustained injuries. He has been chargesheeted under various provisions of Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), Explosive Substances Act and the Indian Penal Code (IPC) including attempt to murder.
