Metropolitan Magistrate Akash Jain today posted the matter for committing it to a sessions court as the offences under which the accused have been chargesheeted are exclusively "triable" by a sessions judge.
The six persons, including Ram Singh who committed suicide in Tihar jail and the juvenile whose trial has been separated, had allegedly beaten and robbed a carpenter before raping and assaulting a girl in the moving bus on December 16 last year.
The trial against the four accused in the gangrape case is being conducted on a day-to-day basis by a special fast track court which has already examined more than 60 witnesses in the matter.
The court had earlier taken cognisance of the charge sheet filed by the police on March 15 in the robbery case against the five accused.
