Amidst fears that Muslim scholar Nezaam Ali will not face a trial in the absence of key documents which mysteriously disappeared from nine files, several legal minds are confident that the case can be salvaged by a thorough investigation and the introduction of secondary evidence.
This newspaper reported last week that the mother of three of the boys allegedly raped by Ali in the company of an official from the Child Care and Protection Agency (CCPA) visited the Supreme Court to check on the case. A clerk showed them the case files but the medical certificates of the boys along with their birth certificates were missing.
