Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kaveri Baweja, who had earlier reserved its order and deferred the pronouncement of its verdict on eight occasions, decided to hear the argument afresh as the trial court record, lying with the Supreme Court, was received two days ago.

The court fixed September 9 for hearing the arguments of the investigating agency and a lawyer who has filed the application challenging CBI's decision to close the case against Quattrocchi.
