Ruchika molestation case verdict on May 25

Judge says the verdict is postponed as lengthy judgement requires more time to write

PTI | May 20, 2010



A sessions court here today deferred to May 25 verdict on plea for enhancing sentence of former Haryana police chief SPS Rathore in Ruchika Girhotra molestation case.



Additional District and Sessions Judge Gurbir Singh deferred the verdict to May 25 saying since the judgment is lengthy it is being postponed by five days to provide time to complete the process of writing the judgement.



The Judge had on May 11 last fixed for today verdict on the three pleas-- one by the former DGP challenging his six month rigorous imprisonment for "outraging the modesty" of 14-year-old tennis player Ruchika and two appeals by Ruchika's family and the CBI seeking enhancement of the sentence awarded to him by the trial court.



Rathore and his lawyer wife Abha arrived in the court half-an-hour before the scheduled time 2 PM and sat quietly.
