Bangalore: The Karnataka High Court on Friday adjourned to September 24 the hearing of the bail petition of French diplomat Pascal Mazurier, arrested on charges of raping his three-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
Justice HN Nagamohan Das adjourned further hearing to that date after granting permission to Mr Mazurier's wife Suja Jones,the complainant, to implead herself as second respondent.
The judge said Mrs Suja's advocate Pramila Nesargi can assist the state prosecutor in the case.
Mr Mazurier's advocate CV Nagesh argued that Suja Jones should not be granted permission to implead herself as the bail petition is between his client and the state.
In his petition, he had pointed out that as per the Forensic Sciences Laboratory (Bangalore) test report, his DNA profile did not match with that of the child.
Mr Pascal was arrested on June 19 on a complaint by his wife alleging that he had raped his daughter.
