The agency is likely to commence its arguments in March in a bid to kickstart the trial. While the Vidhan Sabha elections for the capital are slated next month, the trial in the high-profile case hasn't yet started.
The CBI is currently completing the proceedings under Section 207 of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) which requires that the accused be provided with certain documents used by the prosecution to buttress its case against the accused.
People quoted above said that some of the accused have alleged that there are «deficiencies» in the evidence maintained by the CBI. Some of the accused have sought copies of the notices sent by the agency summoning accused and witnesses in the case for questioning. Some of the accused have contended that the CBI has not served the copies of the notices sent by it at the time of investigation.
On the other hand, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is probing money laundering charges in the alleged Delhi excise scandal, has petitioned the Delhi High Court against an order of the lower court directing the agency to furnish all documents including those not relied upon by the agency.
