Bench to Rohatgi : Kindly clarify. This report is in which crime, in which proceeding.

Rohatgi - It is like this there were 9 major cases, 9 FIRs, Gulberg is the case where the husband was killed. Then came SIT 2008-09. They took up all major cases and filed chargesheets in each of those cases. 4455 supplementary chargesheet were filed. Her complaint was not converted into FIR, she went to HC. HC asked to file complaint. She came to SC against the order of HC. There was a pending matter of NHRC. Her SLP was kind of clubbed together. Also an order was passed in which SC said all aspects to be investigated by SIT. After consideration, SIT came to conclusion that apart from the chargesheet filed there was not material in the matter of 2006 to take it forward. In that sense it was a closure.

Bench - That report is filed in CR 67 of 2002. Is it correct to say that?

Rohatgi - Yes, your Lordship is correct. There was no direction to file FIR.

Bench - This judgment of 2011 takes note of complaint. What this court directed is to the SIT to look into the matter in the proceeding of CR 67 of 2002.

Sibal - Look into the allegation and file report under Magistrate. No matter was pending before Magistrate
