• Orders were reserved on petitions over document disclosure, a proposed plant seizure, and access to the Singapore coroner’s material.
• A plea from accused Shyamkanu Mahanta challenging freezes on his bank accounts was admitted, as prosecutors said only two accounts were frozen.

• The next hearing on February 16 will take up objections and rulings, including Siddhartha Sharma’s discharge plea, with the family pressing for a daily fast‑track court.
