New Delhi: The Delhi Police informed the Delhi High Court that translation work into English pertaining to trial proceedings in the Jessica Lal murder case would be completed before May 15 on Wednesday.
All relevant records, including material upon which the prosecution seeks to rely for appeal, would be compiled before the said date, state counsel Mukta Gupta appearing for the Police informed Division Bench of Justice Manmohan Sarin and Justice J M Malik.
She informed that the Delhi Government has sanctioned the services of two translators to assist the High Court staff in translating all material pertaining to the case into English.
The trial proceedings, in which all the nine persons including prime accused Manu Sharma were acquitted, were conducted in Hindi.
These were being translated into English for the appeal hearing, which would be conducted in English.
Senior counsel I U Khan and R K Naseem, who are appearing for the accused, submitted before the court that all their clients had furnished their personal bonds and sureties before the Registrar as directed by the court.
However, Gupta complained that Vikas Yadav, son of UP politician D P Yadav, who is now lodged in Tihar jail, was yet to furnish his surety papers, though he had submitted his personal bond before the jail Superintendent.
Following this, the Bench directed counsel for Vikas Yadav to furnish the surety for Rs 60,000 within a week. The matter has been posted for further hearing to May 15.
