The CBI informed a Delhi court on Wednesday that it has appointed two Special Public Prosecutors (SPPs) in the Muzaffarpur shelter home sexual assault case, after which both sides were directed to "positively commence" arguments on framing of charges from March 2.
Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Kulshreshtha told the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that if the agency wanted to file a supplementary charge sheet in the matter, it has to be done within 15 days.
The court was informed that advocates Amit Jindal and R N Sinha have been appointed as SPPs by the agency.
Jindal told the court that he received the notification for his appointment from the agency last night and sought time to prepare his arguments on the framing of charges.
The court then said, "Both the parties are directed to positively commence arguments on March 2."
