Justice G P Mittal got irked over the interpretation of the trial court, which had held that the heinous charges can still be invoked against Kanda, as he had not moved the high court like a co-accused Aruna Chadha on whose plea charges of abetment of rape and unnatural sex against her was quashed.
While deciding Chadha's plea, the high court had also held that the charges cannot be “sustained” against Kanda, a former Haryana minister and prime accused in the case.
“I am very much concerned with the way the District and Sessions Judge interpreted the high court order. It is very strange the kind of things that are going on in the District Court,” Justice Mittal said while setting aside the two trial court orders which misinterpreted the high court verdict.
