New Delhi: Delhi’s Rohini Court on Tuesday adjourned the hearing on the bail plea of Ashutosh Bhardwaj, one of the seven accused in the Kanjhawala death case. Six accused in the case are in judicial custody. The Link Metropolitan Magistrate adjourned the hearing on Ashutosh’s bail plea as the judge concerned was not available for today. Advocate Shilpesh Chowdhary requested the concerned judge to list the matter before the concerned judge. The court of Metropolitan Magistrate Sanya Dalal on Monday asked the Delhi Police to file a reply on the bail plea of Ashutosh Bhardwaj. Atul Srivastava, Additional Public Prosecutor (APP) for Delhi Police, had submitted that the investigation was at an initial stage and sought judicial custody of the accused. At the same time, Shilpesh Chaudhary, the advocate of the accused Ashutosh, had applied for bail.
The counsel submitted that there are sections 201, 212 and 120B Part II against the accused and these sections are bailable in nature. He had also said that his role was only that he allegedly gave his car to his friend and parked it. He cooperated in the recovery of the car and arrest of the accused.

The court said, ‘At present there is section 304 of the IPC against Ashutosh.’ The lawyer said that another curb in this case is on bail. Section 304 was not made against Ashutosh. APP Atul Srivastava opposed this and said that it was Ashutosh who had given his car to a person who did not have a driving license. Whether he is involved in the conspiracy or not remains to be seen.
APP Srivastava said that we are opposing the bail application. The investigation is in preliminary stage. Facial recognition and medical tests are to be done to investigate the matter.
