The district authorities have requested the court to allow their hearing through video conferencing, a facility available in both the jails in Banda and Urai, District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma told PTI on Wednesday.

Chief Judicial Magistrate K P Singh would decide the proposal of the district authorities. The hearing of two MLAs is fixed for October 4.
