New Delhi: More than two years after reserving its verdict, the Delhi High Court will on Wednesday decide whether to prosecute 19 witnesses including Bollywood actor Shyan Munshi on the charge of perjury for turning hostile during the trial of Jessica Lal murder case. A bench of justices S Ravindra Bhat and GP Mittal would pronounce its decision in the afternoon in the case in which the high court had taken suo motu cognisance and questioned the prosecution as to how all the witnesses took somersault during the trial.
It had reserved its order on May 4, 2011, after hearing arguments on behalf of police and the witnessess who had turned hostile. Lal was shot dead in April 1999 by Manu Sharma, son of Haryana Congress leader Venod Sharma after she refused to serve a drink to him at a late night party at socialite Bina Ramani's restaurant Tamarind Court here in South Delhi. The High Court, which reversed trial court's verdict on December 18, 2006, awarded life imprisonment to Manu Sharma.
