Arun Ramchandra Pillai through plea stated that even after the lapse of more than 15 months, the investigation is still not concluded and now the prosecution under the garb of "expeditious trial" cannot be permitted to prejudice the present Petitioner. Appearing for Arun Ramchandra Pillai, Advocate Nitesh Rana submitted that the arguements on charges have already begun before the trial court and the next date of hearing before the said court is May 7, 2024. He requested the High Court to decide the matter before that.
