A division bench of Justice L Nageswara Rao and Justice BR Gavai had recently granted interim protection to Supian after remarking that the court can hear the matter only after the statements are placed on record.

Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal begins his submission on behalf of Supian.

Sibal: First chargesheet did not name me as an accused. After that matter was taken over by CBI.

Sibal: The charge-sheet relies upon statements made under Sec.164 CrPC. These statements did not even mention my name. I was not made an accused even under the second charge-sheet.

Sibal: Suvendu Adhikari made statements saying he will have me arrested along with a few others.

Court asks ASG Aman Lekhi to provide relevant documents to the petitioner.
