New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday rapped the trial judge for going ahead with the charge of sexual assault against Haryana MLA Gopal Kanda despite the court in its verdict dropping the charge in the airhostess Geetika Sharma suicide case.
Justice GP Mittal got irked over the interpretation of the trial court, which had held that the heinous charges can still be invoked against Kanda, as he had not moved the high court like a co-accused Aruna Chadha on whose plea charges of abetment of rape and unnatural sex against her was quashed.
While deciding Chadha's plea, the high court had also held that the charges cannot be "sustained" against Kanda, a former Haryana minister and prime accused in the case.
