Rahul Mahajan to appear in Tis Hazari tomorrow

New Delhi, June 11: Accepting the plea of the Delhi Police seeking to transfer hearing of the Rahul Mahajan case to a special court, a city court today directed that Rahul be produced in the Tis Hazari court tomorrow.

A revision petition filed by Delhi Police before the Patiala House Court, hearing the case related to Rahul's alleged drug abuse, sought the transfer of the case to the Tis Hazari as the Metropolitan Magistrate A K Chaturvedi, who was hearing the case and who had, on Friday, deferred Rahuls bail application to June 13, would not be present on the said date due to the court holidays.

In this context, the Delhi Police plea said the sections under which Rahul had been arrested made it necessary for hearing of the case in a Special court.

Accordingly, the court had issued a warrant to produce Rahul before Tis Hazari Court at 1000 hrs tomorrow where his case would come up for hearing before Special Judge Neeraj Gupta.

Tihar Jail Law official Sunil Gupta said the warrant had been recieved by jail authorities today.

Rahul is currently serving his judicial remand in Tihar Jail where he is lodged in jail no 3, in a cell close to RJD MP Pappu Yadav.
