The Supreme Court on Monday said it expected the trial in a sexual assault case, in which Malayalam actor Dileep is an accused, to get "specific priority".
A Bench led by Justice Dinesh Maheshwari said in its order that the trial "may proceed on a day-to-day basis".
Mr. Dileep had filed an application in the Supreme Court saying the case proceedings was being "protracted at the instance of the prosecutrix so as to evade a final verdict". He had also complained to the top court that the trial had not proceeded expeditiously. He alleged that he was being subjected to a media trial.
