Lawyer representing businessman Ballu Khan, QC Peter Williams, in his summing up gave alot of reasons why a stay should be granted on the case whereby Khan and nine others are charged for allegedly planning to assassinate the Interim PM and others.

Williams in court this afternoon said that the case should be stayed because there was a breach of the constitutional rights of the alleged offenders, his client Khan was bashed up, the inaction of police to prevent this assault, no proper investigation to identify the perpetrators of this assault, there was failure to produce evidence because it was destroyed and there was no alternative provided, and there was an unlawful search of houses and property of Khan without a warrant amongst other reasons.

Defence lawyer Filimoni Vosarogo representing five of the accused had similar reasons as to why the case should be stayed.

The case will continue tomorrow with Prosecution expected to make submission on the application.
