In
the
case
of
the
late
actress
Jiah
Khan's
demise,
actor
Sooraj
Pancholi
had
allegedly
been
the
main
accused.
His
trial
has
now
been
going
for
a
long
time
in
the
Sessions
Court.
However,
now
Sooraj's
trial
has
been
moved
to
the
CBI
court
today
(July
30)
afternoon.
The
trial
which
had
begun
in
the
first
half
of
2019
will
now
gain
momentum
and
is
expected
to
proceed
further.
A
news
report
in
The
Times
Of
India
quoted
Sooraj
Pancholi's
lawyer
Advocate
Prashant
Patil
be
saying,
"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
report
further
stated
that
Sooraj
Pancholi's
lawyers
are
now
confident
that
the
case
will
be
conducted
at
a
steady
pace
and
will
be
concluded
soon.
The
lawyer
also
went
on
to
add
that
the
prosecution
should
conduct
a
day-to-day
trial
and
try
to
prove
the
Hero
actor
guilty
if
they
believe
that
their
allegations
are
true.
The
lawyer
went
on
to
add
that
they
would
add
an
application
to
expedite
the
proceedings
of
the
trial
on
a
day-to-day
basis
before
the
CBI
Court.
In
an
earlier
interview
with
Spotboye,
Sooraj
Pancholi
had
revealed
that
he
is
over
the
controversy
surrounding
Jiah
Khan's
demise
now.
The
actor
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."
On
the
work
front,
Sooraj
Pancholi
was
last
seen
in
the
film
Time
To
Dance
alongside
debutante
Isabelle
Kaif.
The
movie
was
released
on
the
OTT
streaming
platform
Netflix.
It
was
helmed
by
Stanley
D'Costa.
