Sharma's counsel also pleaded for a day-to-day trial saying that a call letter for "selection test for recruitment of group 'C' civilian LDCs in Indian Air Force" had been received by the accused.

"My client has got a call letter to appear for an interview with the Indian Air Force. A tutor or guide be provided to him. The test will include general knowledge... He will have a job and will lead a good life ahead. He will earn well... He is the only breadwinner in the family... He will serve the Indian Air Force," Sharma's counsel said.

Additional Sessions Judge Yogesh Khanna asked the police to file their reply on the application and posted the matter for April 28.
