By Indo Asian News Service,
[RxPG] New Delhi, Nov 23 - A trial court here Thursday dismissed an application by Bharti Yadav, a key witness in the Nitish Katara murder, seeking the absence of the deceased's mother in the court during her deposition scheduled on Nov 29.
Dismissing Bharti's plea, Additional Sessions Judge Ravinder Kaur said: 'I do not find any substance in the application of Ms. Bharti to keep Ms. - Katara out of the court during her - deposition.'
In her application, Bharti had said the presence of Neelam Katara in the court during the recording of her evidence would cause prejudice to her and she would feel uncomfortable.
On another application by the prosecution for examination of - Nitin Katara statements against Vikas Yadav and Vishal Yadav, the court said it would take up the plea for consideration on Nov 27.
The court also allowed a plea by the prosecution to interview Bharti before her examination in the court.
Kaur said during her interview by B.S. Joon, public prosecutor in the case, Bharti's counsel would also be present.
Vikas Yadav and Vishal Yadav, brother and cousin of Bharti respectively, are facing trial in the case for allegedly kidnapping Nitish Katara, son of a former IAS officer here, and later killing him because they were allegedly against their sister having an affair with him.
