Additional Sessions Judge Raj Kapoor reserved the order after hearing arguments advanced by the counsel of complainant Hashmat Ali, who was a key witness in the cash-for-vote scam case, and the advocate appearing for Amar Singh and others.
Amar Singh and his secretary Tarun appeared in the court today while the third person Ramesh, who has also been named in the petition, was absent as the summons issued against him were not served.
He claimed that after kidnapping Ali, Tarun and Ramesh had taken him to Singh's residence from where he was handed over to the police.
Ali's lawyer argued that the magistrate had dismissed his criminal complaint against Singh and two others saying there were no independent witnesses to corroborate the allegations.

"The (alleged) offence was not committed before any independent witnesses. Where was the questions of examining any independent witnesses?," he said.
Hariharan also said that even the police, in its action taken report, had earlier said that there was no evidence to corroborate the allegations levelled by Ali.
The court, after hearing the arguments, reserved its order for August 4 on the revision petition filed by Ali challenging the magisterial court's order passed in January this year.
