The lawyer for the three men charged with the attempted murder of a man at Jittu Estate last month has requested if the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions could separate the charges of his clients.
Lawyer Jiten Reddy says one of the accused is charged with one count of attempted murder, criminal intimidation and one count of assault causing actual bodily harm while the other two are charged with assault causing actual bodily harm.
Reddy explained to the court that if the charges are separated he would like to request the court if the case of the accused charged with the lesser charge can be transferred to the Magistrates Court.
Mohammed Nirmaroj Imran is charged with one count of criminal intimidation, one count of assault causing actual bodily harm and a count of attempted murder.
While Ali Abu Talib and Ali Ahmed are charged with a count of assault causing actual bodily harm.
Bail applications have also been made.
The state has noted the request and have asked for time to file information and disclosures.
The matter will be called on the 3rd of March for information and disclosure.
The bail mention for the case will be next Friday.
It is alleged that the three had assaulted and caused harm to Sanjeshwar Prasad in Raiwaqa resulting in him sustaining injuries.
