The trial in the Bhanwari Devi abduction and murder case has been stuck for about two years as American DNA expert Amber B Carr has failed to appear in court, a defence counsel argued here while demanding the removal of her name from the list of prosecution witnesses.
The expert who works with the FBI has not appeared in the court despite being issued five summons. She was first issued summons in May 2017.
The CBI has been pleading for her to be examined through video-conferencing but the defence has been protesting against it.
"We want her to be examined in person but the insistence of the CBI on video-conferencing, despite the court's refusal, is nothing but a tactic to delay the trial," defence counsel Jagmal Singh Choudhary claimed.
