Court sets March 29 deadline for IRCTC case defence
A special CBI court has set a new eight-day deadline for the accused in the IRCTC hotels case, including Lalu Prasad and his family, to finish their counter arguments by March 29. Previously, the court had given a six-day deadline, but the defence could not complete their arguments. The CBI had already concluded its arguments for framing charges against the accused. The court will hear the case daily from March 22 to March 29. After the defence concludes, the court will decide whether to frame charges, which would start the trial.
