Asaram rape case: Court rejects woman's plea for new statement

December 22, 2014 23:33

A court in Gandhinagar today turned down the plea of a 33-year-old woman, who had accused Asaram of sexual assault, to record a fresh statement under section 164 of CrPc.

The woman had last week filed the application seeking re-recording of her statement in connection with the case.

During hearing today, Chief Judicial Magistrate J S Parikh turned down her plea after it was opposed by Special Public Prosecutor R C Kodekar who said the victim had already registered her statement before magistrate under section 164 of CrPC.

The statement recorded under the said section is admissible at the stage of trial unlike the one recorded before the police.
