The same CBI court which deliver the verdict is also hearing the case relating to the murder. Ram Chander's son, Anshul has been making the rounds of the court for several years now. The current of the status of the case is that the evidence presentation has concluded.

Anshul had petitioned the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking a probe into the murder of his father. The legal battle for Anshul began when the police did not include the Dera chief's name in the FIR. His father had battled for life for 28 years before breathing his last.
