“If co-accused and my (Chadha) trial is separated, I have no difficulty at all,” Lalit said, while challenging the trial court's August 14 and 17 orders.

In his August 14, 2013 order, the District and Sessions Judge had held that since Kanda has not challenged in the high court the charges of rape and unnatural offence, the charges framed against him have attained finality due to bar of limitation.
