The case, which is meant to be fast-track, has now been adjourned four times ever since the advocates strike against the proposed draft of the Tenancy Act began on July 22.
It was on May 5 this year, nine years after the murder that the CBI court ordered day-to-day hearing of the trial while framing charges against Kalyani Singh, 37, the prime accused in the case. The recording of evidence in the case began on July 9 when a key prosecution witness was examined.
