The process of statement taking from security chiefs has been suspended meaning the Kenya chaos case will now be filed without their testimony.
Judge Kalpana Rawal put the process on hold Tuesday to await the outcome of an application filed by the security bosses' lawyers at The Hague.
The judge said she expects the record the statement on December 20, a day after the ruling is made at the International Criminal Court.
The lawyers want assurances from the ICC that any evidence provided by their clients will not be used against them as the court's prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo puts together his case on post election violence.
Mr Moreno-Ocampo has indicated that he will file two cases involving six individuals suspected of masterminding the violence, which left 1,133 people and a further 650,000 uprooted from their homes, before December 17.
