It
was
earlier
reported
that
actor
Sooraj
Pancholi
who
was
allegedly
the
main
accused
in
his
then-girlfriend
and
actress
Jiah
Khan's
death,
has
his
trial
moved
to
the
CBI
Court
on
July
30.
The
trial
was
going
on
for
a
long
time
in
the
Sessions
Court.
Now
according
to
the
latest
update,
the
CBI
Court
will
hear
about
the
case.
According
to
a
news
report
by
One
India,
the
CBI
Court
will
be
hearing
all
about
Jiah
Khan's
death
case.
The
report
further
mentioned
that
the
Sessions
Court
that
was
conducting
the
trial
of
Sooraj
Pancholi
on
the
charges
of
abetment
stated
that
the
trial
should
be
transferred
to
the
CBI
Court.
The
trial
that
had
begun
in
the
first
half
of
2019
will
now
gain
momentum
and
is
expected
to
proceed
further.
After
the
trial
was
moved
to
the
CBI
Court,
according
to
a
news
report
in
The
Times
Of
India,
Sooraj
Pancholi's
lawyer
Advocate
Prashant
Patil
said,
"The
order
granted
by
the
Hon'ble
Sessions
Court
to
transfer
the
said
case
to
Special
CBI
Court
is
a
welcome
move
for
my
client,
Sooraj
Pancholi.
We
have
been
moving
applications
since
the
beginning
of
the
trial
to
expedite
the
case
and
decide
the
matter
on
its
merits
within
six
months.
Our
applications
were
allowed.
Even
then,
the
trial
proceedings
were
delayed.
We
then
moved
a
Writ
Petition
before
the
Hon'ble
Bombay
High
Court
for
expediting
the
trial
and
concluding
it
within
six
months.
The
matter
now
is
transferred
to
Hon'ble
CBI
Court,
which
according
to
law,
is
the
correct
legal
position."
The
late
actress
Jiah
Khan
had
allegedly
died
by
suicide
in
her
residence
in
the
year
2013.
Her
then-boyfriend
Sooraj
Pancholi
was
charged
with
abetment
for
the
same.
In
an
earlier
interaction
with
Spotboye,
the
Hero
actor
had
revealed
that
the
controversy
surrounding
the
case
does
not
affect
him
now.
Sooraj
had
said,
"I
am
over
that
now.
In
fact,
I
laugh
at
those
making
a
desperate
effort
to
keep
that
controversy
alive.
I
have
far
better
things
happening
in
my
life." Jiah
Khan
was
known
for
her
performances
in
films
like
Nishabd,
Ghajini
and
Housefull.
