The hearing of the case is going on in the Rouse Avenue Court, where the court has directed the investigating officer to provide the CD (which alleged evidence that exists) and the original complaint should be made available to the complainant.
The court also clarified that for a fair investigation of the case and further hearing, it is necessary that all necessary documents are available with the complainant. The court also stated that the complainant does not have copies of photographs that allegedly relate to the crime, so the investigating officer has been directed to hand over all the necessary digital and written evidence to the complainant.

The court also indicated that if necessary, the investigation of the case would be carried forward and other concerned persons can also be summoned.
