State Prosecutor, Ashika Luckan told the court the State had managed to comply with the order set down in the previous sitting for the indictment and audit report, among others to be completed.
She confirmed the State handed over the report with its annexures and case docket to the defence in December.
The state also handed over copies of the indictment to the defence attorneys during the sitting.

The case has been postponed and the bail for the accused extended.
