Bangalore: Karnataka High Court on Monday adjourned to September 17 hearing of the bail petition filed by French diplomat Pascal Mazurier, arrested on charges of raping his three-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
Justice H N Nagamohan Das adjourned further hearing of the petition to September 17 after the government sought time to file rejoinder to the objections filed by Mr Pascal's counsel to the application filed by the diplomat's wife Suja Jones impleading herself as the second respondent in the case.
Counsel for Mr Pascal, S Mahesh had earlier filed objections to the application filed by Suja Jones.
Mr Mirji then informed her that Venkata Swamy has been appointed as the new Investigation Officer in the case replacing Mr Devaraj.
Ms Nesargi said Suja Jones was "disappointed with the way the probe was being carried out. There is no support from the French Consulate also".
Mr Pascal, in his petition, had pointed out that as per the report of the test conducted by the Forensic Sciences Laboratory (Bangalore), his DNA profile did not match with that of the child.
Mr Pascal was arrested on June 19 after police booked him for raping his daughter based on a complaint filed by his wife.
