The judge noted in an order passed on September 25 that the notice sent earlier was not received back.

The court, meanwhile, adjourned the arguments on whether to frame the charges against the accused for the next date of hearing after the public prosecutor sought time.

At the previous hearing, defence advocate Nitesh Rana had told the court that the prosecution lacked evidence to prosecute the accused.

The accused were booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Arms Act.
