7 Feb 2014 5:45 AM IST
A Delhi court on Thursday transferred the bail applications of two accused arrested in connection with the death of a 19-year-old Arunachal Pradesh youth, to Special Court due to lack of jurisdiction to hear the cases registered under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes Act.
Metropolitan Magistrate Pawan Kumar, who had on 4 February remanded Farman, Sunder Singh and Pawan to judicial custody till 18 February, recused himself from taking up the pleas and said the applications be heard by the Special Court as the accused have been arrested under the law which deals with offences of atrocities against SC and ST members.
‘The applications should be placed before the Special Court... which has jurisdiction of such offences,’ the judge said, while listing the applications for Friday.
