Feroz Khan co-accused could seek charges withdrawal as defence slams ‘delays’ in precious metals case

The defence asked the court to compel the state to provide the outstanding documents, arguing that the request was not unreasonable due to the amount of time that had passed since the accused first appeared in court.

One of the legal representatives told the court that the delays were undermining the accused’s constitutional right to a fair and expeditious trial.“Even if that investigation is not complete and the state finds it necessary to secure the information that’s contained in the accused number three’s phone, surely the bulk of the investigation has been done and that information can be available to us.”
