In her plea, Azad has challenged the legality of the trial court order dated December 21 remanding her to police custody.
She has said she was not allowed to consult the legal practitioners of her choice to defend her during the remand proceedings.
“In fact, it was only after the disposal of the remand application that she was asked by the Ld. Court if she wanted to be represented by an advocate of her choice which she replied in affirmative and an order was passed permitting the petitioner to consult her advocate,” Azad stated in her plea.
