New Delhi, July 1 (IANS) The Delhi High Court on Wednesday adjourned to July 3 the hearing on a petition by Pinjra Tod member Devangana Kalita to seek directions to Tihar Jail authorities to allow her access to her counsel through videoconference.

Justice Vibhu Bakhru, who was hearing the matter through videoconference, was informed by Kalita's counsel Adjit S Pujari that a similar plea by co-accused Natasha Narwal had been disposed after Tihar Jail authorities agreed to the plea to some extent.
