Summary:
The special court conducting the Malegaon blast trial noted recently that accused Lt.
Col.
Prasad Purohit was 'trying by hook or crook to prolong the matter' despite the directions of the Bombay High Court to conduct day-to-day proceedings. The court noted this in its roznama which registers the daily proceeding details of a case. Purohit had said in his plea that he needed time to collect some articles to show how fair trial was denied. The court also noted how he had stated in his application that there was no urgency to decide the application as the matter is adjourned by the HC. It also noted that an application was filed by accused BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur, also seeking time to reply on the media plea..
