A special CBI court here on Thursday deferred the hearing in the case of forgery and violation of the Indian Passport Act against yoga guru Ramdev’s aide Balkrishna till October 22.
Balkrishna, who is out on bail in the case, made an appearance in the designated court in connection with the hearing slated for on Thursday, but it could not take place due to the nationwide bandh, CBI counsel Rajmohan Chand said.
The matter would come up for hearing now on October 22, he said. A case of cheating and criminal conspiracy had been registered by CBI against Balkrishna on July 23 last year for allegedly procuring fake degree and violating section 12 of Indian Passport Act by furnishing fake documents to get the passport.
