A court here on Friday reserved its order on an application by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) seeking permission to take voice samples of former Union minister Chinmayanand and a law student, who has accused him of raping her.

The SIT had on Thursday moved the application for taking their voice samples as well as that of three youth, who have been charged with demanding extortion from the BJP leader.

After hearing the respective counsels, Chief Judicial Magistrate Omvir Singh reserved his order and is likely to pronounce it on Saturday.

The law student's counsel Anoop Trivedi said he and others objected to the SIT application as voice samples, if required, should have been sought within stipulated 15 days time.

 

"Now after passage of one month, this application does not seems right," Trivedi added.
