Uber rape case: Supreme Court to hear victim’s plea today

Delhi HC order amounts to re-trial of the case and sought urgent hearing of her plea

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear on Tuesday the plea of 25-year-old woman, who was allegedly raped by driver of a Uber cab, against the Delhi High Court order allowing the accused to recall and examine 13 witnesses including the victim in the trial.

“It will come tomorrow for hearing. In the meantime, correct all the defects,” a bench headed by Chief Justice H.L. Dattu said.

Senior advocate Colin Gonsalves, appearing for the victim, said that Delhi High Court order amounts to re-trial of the case and sought urgent hearing of her plea.

On March 4, the Delhi High Court had allowed recall of all 13 prosecution witnesses, including the victim in Uber cab rape case, on the plea of the accused driver and said their cross examination will be carried out on a day-to-day basis.
