ARGUMENTS TO START SOON..

The Telungana issues and continued interruptions of court proceedings resulted in further delay. Lastly Dr. K Narayana Reddy a former prosecution witness appeared to give evidence in favour of the accused as DW1. The chief was taken by A1 and cross examination was completed by prosecution. After the cross examination by the prosecution, A2 wanted to cross examine Dr.Narayana Reddy but the presiding officer refused the request.

On May 1^st 2015 the defense closed their evidence. Arguments to start during the 1^st week of June 2015. 

THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE STILL GOES ON..

After a gap of 6 months on 9^th Dec.14, the 313 questioning of accused by the court was over. More than 300 questions were put to the accused. As usual most of them were denied. Dr.Narayana Reddy who was dropped by prosecution from their list of witness has been called by the defense as their witness under Sec 233 Cr.Pc. The next date of commencement of trial is 23^rd Jan 2015 marking the 9^th year of struggle.

THE TRIAL SO FAR...

The Theodatious Episcopa of the Marthoma church was served summons at Thiruvalla on 19^th September 2013 to appear on the 24^th September 2013 to explain the grounds on which a suicidal service was conducted without any report from police/postmortem report contrary to church directives. He filed a memo for non appearance which was rejected by the court. He was asked to appear on 17^th Oct. 

The Episcopa preferred an examination through video conferencing. That could not take place though court permitted it. After a few postponements, the advocate appearing for the Bishop got the exhibits of the CBI accepted by defense under section 294 CrPC,

The last witness of prosecution, the IO- CBI is scheduled for 24^th April 2014. After that, the 313 questioning of the accused and the examination of the defense witnesses is to be completed before the commencement of the argument. So far one witness (PW 44) was declared hostile.

JUSTICE FOR ANSU IS NOT VERY FAR

On 15th July 2010, on her birthday, the CBI filed the charge sheet against Ribu and his accomplice Chagla under IPC.302 for COLD BLOODED MURDER along with section 325- causing grievous hurt, 120 B - Criminal conspiracy and 201 suppression of evidence .

The 14th court of Nampally- Hyderabad will now start the trial. The Police Officers who tried to subvert justice were recommended for stringent punishment by CBI at Govt: level.

Though Ansu’s parents are vindicated, a journey fraught with challenges is still ahead. They can still hear her voice pleading, “LET ME LIVE”. 

Hope the ray of hope for justice is not a mirage any more.
