Dec 16 rape: Prosecution to end arguments in HC today

The prosecution will conclude its arguments on the death sentence reference in the December 16 gangrape case before the Delhi High Court on Friday.

Special Prosecutor Dayan Krishnan began his arguments on November 1. The court of Justice Reva Khetrapal and Justice Pratibha Rani have also directed advocate M L Sharma,counsel for convicts Mukesh and Pawan,to be present in court to begin his arguments.

Making it clear that no adjournments would be allowed in the day-to-day trial,the judges rejected the submission of Sharma’s associate that Sharma would not be able to appear in court till Tuesday.

“If he will not argue the case,we will close it. He can move Supreme Court against our order,” the bench said.
