A Jammu court on Tuesday turned down JKLF chief Yasin Malik’s plea to physically attend the court and cross-examine witnesses in the 1989 Rubaiya Sayeed abduction case, according to a CBI counsel.
The court also issued a bailable warrant against Ms. Sayeed after she did not appear for her cross-examination by Malik, whom she had identified as her abductor during last a hearing last month.
According to a CBI counsel, the court turned down Malik’s plea for physical appearance, citing directions from the High Court “to produce all the accused in all the cases through virtual mode”.
