As per sources, The case was deferred by the court earlier this month till April 28th, 2014 as the prosecution sought time to produce witnesses in view of police deployment on election duty. Sessions Judge D W Deshpande had asked the prosecution to produce on April 28 the first witness who was injured in the mishap in which the actor was involved, followed by eye witnesses in May.

On March 26, three witnesses failed to turn up as they were either not available or untraceable making this the second occasion when the fresh trial has not begun in the case.
