DIMAPUR, MAY 3 (MExN): The first examination in chief and cross examination of complainants by the defense council in connection with the fuel adulteration case of June 2016 was held on Wednesday, May 3 at the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Dimapur. Two complainants testified before the court and Public Prosecutor (PP) Hutoi Yeptho said today’s hearing was in connection to the case filed at West Police Station Dimapur. Five of the six accused persons were present at the hearing. Considering the nature of the case and 42 witnesses yet to be testified, the PP said “the case may go continue till next year.” He said it cannot be predicted if the case will come to a conclusion by this year though some issues have been disclosed by the complainants and had materialized in today’s hearing. The next hearing is fixed for May 25 where three witnesses—one police and two seizure witnesses—will testify before the court of CJM, the PP informed.
