The trial in the sensational Batla House encounter case is set to begin as a Delhi court on May 26 sent the matter to a Sessions Judge for hearing arguments on charge and subsequent proceedings against Shahzad, an alleged member of Indian Mujahideen (IM). The matter is marked to the court of Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) A.K. Kuhar for conducting trial. Kuhar, on receiving the judicial file from the superior court, has fixed the date to June 4 for further proceedings and hearing arguments on framing of charges against Shahzad, the only accused who was arrested in the encounter where two Muslim youth Atif Ameen and Mohd Sajid, were killed in the encounter.
