Akhlaq Lynching Case: Transfer Hearing Set for January 22
A court in Greater Noida is deciding whether to move the Mohammad Akhlaq lynching case from one court to another.
Akhlaq was killed in 2015 because some people thought he had beef in his home.
The defence wants more time to give documents to the court.
The next hearing is on January 22.
So far, only Akhlaq's daughter has given her statement.
The court has said the case is very important and should be heard every day.
The government wanted to drop charges, but the court said no.
The court set January 22 for hearing the transfer petition in the Mohammad Akhlaq lynching case.
The defence sought more time to file supporting documents for the transfer plea.
The transfer plea was filed on January 8 by the counsel for the accused.
The court has fixed January 23 for recording further testimony in the case.
Only the statement of Akhlaq’s daughter, Shaista, has been recorded so far.
