Gujarat Riots- Zakia Jafri's Plea Against Clean Chit To Narendra Modi- LIVE UPDATES
Sibal: I have not mentioned A1 (then CM), If you continue reading about it then I’ll have to deal with it.
Bench: We want to record your (Sibal) statement in his regard.
Sibal: I’ll give a written statement so there is no ambiguity.
Sibal: It is not pressed for further investigation. If tomorrow any other evidence that comes up then nothing is closed forever. I am not challenging the closure report on this finding. I am not seeking further investigation in this matter.
Bench: He(Rohatgi) is not reading it because you have not read it.
Sibal: This does not require further investigation.
Bench: So you are not challenging that finding of SIT?
Sibal: I have not read it so I am neither relying nor disputing any of it. I have given undisputed documents and matters which require further investigation.
Rohatgi: The other side has not pressed Item no. 1 of the complaint. I was otherwise willing to read it.
Bench: Maybe it was that they wanted further investigation in other matters to later press this. It is not as if it was not pressed?
Rohatgi: From 337 onwards SIT had done another exercise. It has collated different part of the report that was concerned with the 63 accused.
Bench: They have not pressed item 1 (allegation against CM)?
Rohatgi: Each of them examined in details. None of them had unconvincing alibi. Their telephone calls are checked. Nothing found. The allegation was not correct.
Rohatgi: So, Milord, it was a serious allegation that between doctors that secret meeting took place at Lonavada. Ashok Bhatt and Chauhan were also there and they conspired to avenge the train burning incident.
Rohatgi: The other side said, I have heard Mr. Sibal say - Why have you not ceased the mobile phones?
An event of 2002, this is 2010. People don’t keep phone for 8 years, the phones were very different back then and wherever there is govt phone, it has been examined.
