Court Reserves Orders in Zubeen Garg Case After Hearings on Seizures and Singapore Files

Overview

• The Kamrup (Metro) District and Sessions Court heard arguments for nearly two and a half hours and reserved orders, setting March 2 for the next district-court date.
• The defence sought to de-list a luxury apartment co-owned by the accused’s mother from seizure, arguing co-owner rights would be violated.
• Special Public Prosecutor Ziaul Kamar questioned the funding of the flat, citing a ₹50,000 monthly salary and a 20-year loan allegedly cleared in six years as possible evidence of embezzlement.
• The court directed that relevant Singapore Coroner’s Court materials be supplied in soft copy to the defence, though prosecutors argued the records lack relevance and fall outside Indian jurisdiction.
• The SIT-sealed Mahavir Aqua plant faces a reopening plea listed before the Gauhati High Court on February 25, with related issues to be taken up by the district court on March 2, as Zubeen Garg’s wife again urged a fast-track process.
