New Delhi: The prosecution and defence have wrapped up their arguments in the Naina Sahini murder case on Wednesday, though the Delhi High Court has reserved it's final judgement for the time being.
Naina Sahani was murdered by her husband Sushil Sharma at the their Gole Market house. He later tried to get rid of her body by roasting it in a tandoor (earthen oven), at the Baggia restaurant of Ashok Yatri Niwas Hotel (now named The Shangrila) on the intervening night of July 2-3, 1995.
Sharma was subsequently sentenced to death by a Delhi court on November 7, 2003.
According to a report in PTI, Sharma's counsel, K K Sud, had alleged that his client had not got a fair trial as the trial judge did not give chance to his client to make his defence properly.
Sud charged the trial judge had relied upon the "false" evidence produced by the police and convicted Sharma. The prosecution had fabricated all evidence, including the revolver, and planted that as a piece of evidence to falsely implicate his client, he alleged.
The suspected weapon was picked up by the police from his house in Delhi and shown that it was recovered from his Maruti car, he argued.
The counsel denied Sharma was staying with Naina at the house in Gole Market, where the murder took place, as he was not legally married to her.
Sharma was granted another trial on an appeal, for which the arguments on both sides were wrapped up on Wednesday. However, the Bench of Justice R S Sodhi and Justice P K Bhasin reserved their order on the appeal filed by him.
