Bibhav Kumar Challenges Court's Cognizance of Assault Charges

Kumar, an aide to former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, disputes the legal basis of the charge sheet process in the Swati Maliwal assault case.

Bibhav Kumar has filed a revision petition against the trial court's cognizance of the charge sheet in the alleged assault case involving Swati Maliwal.
The petition claims the trial court improperly applied outdated legal procedures under the old Criminal Procedure Code instead of the new Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita.
Kumar's legal team argues that the court's actions were mechanical and lacked proper judicial consideration, leading to a 'bad in law' order.
The charges against Kumar include serious allegations such as attempt to commit culpable homicide and assault with intent to outrage modesty.
The case is set to be heard by the Tis Hazari Court on November 16, with the charge sheet detailing evidence from over 100 witnesses.
