New Delhi, Feb 11 (IANS) A court here Wednesday fixed Feb 16 for final arguments in the rape case against an Uber cab driver.

Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja fixed Feb 16 for hearing the final arguments after closing the defence evidence proceedings.

The court also asked accused driver Shiv Kumar Yadav whether he wants to examine himself as a defence witnesses in the case or not.

According to police, a woman executive was allegedly raped by 32-year-old Yadav inside his cab on the night of Dec 5, 2014.

The court Jan 13 framed against Yadav charges of rape and causing grievous bodily harm and endangering the life of a woman, kidnapping a woman, criminal intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt under various sections of the Indian Penal Code.

In just 17 days, the prosecution last week completed recording of evidence in a court here.
