Shillong, Jun 8: The Meghalaya High Court on Monday heard the arguments from both the state government’s counsel and the defense representing Sonam Raghuvanshi, who is being tried for the murder of her husband Raja.
The defence counsel, S. Thapa is set to submit his written arguments to the court tomorrow.
“Heard Mr. S. Thapa, learned counsel for the respondent, who has concluded his argument. Also, heard reply by Mr. A. Kumar, learned AG for the State petitioner. Mr. S. Thapa, has submitted that he may be allowed to file written argument in course of the day. List this matter tomorrow (09.06.2026),” the single bench of Justice Wanlura Diengdoh ordered.
Sonam was granted conditional bail by additional DC (judicial), Shillong, Dashalene R Kharbteng, citing procedural lapses during her arrest, saying she was not made aware of the correct section of the BNS under which she was held.
