The National Investigating Agency (NIA) on Monday filed a fresh petition in the special NIA court in Panchkula seeking an extension of 90 days to file a supplementary chargesheet against Kamal Chauhan,alleged bomber in the 2007 Samjhauta Express blast case.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court had pointed out an anomaly in the earlier petition — that the investigating body had filed it without obtaining the sanction of the special public prosecutor. NIA special public prosecutor Advocate R K Handa gave his nod to file the fresh petition on Monday.
