The Ernakulam Principal District and Sessions Court on Monday dismissed a plea for a special court to hear the case in which a prominent actress was assaulted in a moving car in Kochi on February 17.

The court turned down the plea by the victim actress and said the request to provide the services of a woman judge could not be granted. The court said the counsel for prime accused Pulsar Suni could view the 'visuals of the assault' in the presence of the court.

The court posted to June 27 the hearing on all allied petitions.

Actor Dileep, who reportedly masterminded the kidnap and assault, had filed a petition seeking 'all records.' The court will hear this plea as well on June 27. The court directed Dileep to mention in writing the documents needed.

Criminal lawyer B.A. Aloor informed the court that he was no longer appearing for Pulsar Suni. Suni made an application for another lawyer.
