Raj Kundra’s Lawyer Submits Request For Fast Track Trials; Says Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied

New Delhi: Businessman and husband of Bollywood actress, Shilpa Shetty, Raj Kundra was booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Court (IPC) for allegedly creating and distributing pornographic content on certain online platforms for monetary gains. He was arrested in July 2021 and was released on bail in September 2021.

Raj Kundra's lawyer has now requested a fast-track trial of his case as he says justice delayed is denied. He said, "My client Mr Raj Kundra is a Victim of false prosecution. Years have passed in anticipation of the trial to begin, but it looks like, despite consistent efforts to expedite the trial court process, the prosecution is more interested in delaying the trial."

Without having complete knowledge of the truth, certain "trigger" happy segments of the media pounced on my client and have already pronounced a "verdict" without verifying the facts and truth of the story.

The truth is, considering the entire charge sheet to be true for the sake of arguments, there is absolutely no evidence against my client Mr Raj Kundra.

The fundamental rights of my client are getting infringed upon when he is denied his right to face a fair and expeditious trial. We have complete Faith in the Honorable Judiciary, which is why we have moved an application before the Honorable Court to conduct the Judicial Proceedings on a daily basis. If my client is found guilty of the allegations levied against him, he may be convicted by the Honorable Court. But, if my client is innocent, he deserves to be acquitted of the fake allegations expeditiously.

Justice delayed is Justice denied.

He concluded by saying, "I am hoping for an expeditious outcome of the matter by following due process of Law."
