Gujarat Riots- Zakia Jafri's Plea Against Clean Chit To Narendra Modi- LIVE UPDATES

Rohatgi: How many parallel proceedings to go on? A criminal case is going on in Gulberg, Nanavati Commission is also examining, SIT is also examining. This is not what the Court meant when it said 'look into' the complaint.

Rohatgi: The purpose of reading this is to show.. I am not on correctness, I am on the meticulousness of the work of the SIT.

Rohatgi: I wanted to say that SIT was critical of the fellow. But, sufficient evidence not to show conspiracy, recommended departmental enquiry.

Rohatgi: Within one hour of the riots, a curfew was imposed.I am reading this to show the meticulousness of the investigation. Minute by minute is the examination of the SIT. Wherever it was possible these phones were examined. SIT is critical of the role of Tandon.

Bench: It shows that he had been making calls. Not receiving calls. Contact is not two way contact. It is one way contact. To share information he called back.

Rohatgi: Shreekumar's register is like Magna Carta. It contains allegation of all officers. Then it (SIT) deals with Ashok Narayan. Then, Tandon.

Mr. Rohatgi reads about the observation of SIT w.r.t. Tandon and Gondia.

Rohatgi:See Subbarao.Complete investigation is done on something like transfer of chairman of energy commission.What is this to do with conspiracy?A conspiracy has to start from someone at the top. Now he(Sibal)says disparate incidents of conspiracy. Where is the meeting of minds

Rohatgi: He is convicted for planting narcotics in the room of a lawyer in Gujarat. I am personally aware because I had appeared in these cases.

Rohatgi: Milord, kindly see pg. 271, allegation no. 7 - senior officials rewarded while their conduct under scrutiny of Nanavati Commission. Pages after pages are devoted by this SIT. 

Rohatgi: Then this Rahul Sharma, who is first shown as an accused and later as a star witness.

Rohatgi: The conduct of Sanjeev Bhat is volumes and volumes. My friend did not speak about it, so I’ll not speak about it. Today Sanjeev Bhat is convicted for murder, his appeal is pending.

Rohatgi: RB Shreekumar, Rahul Sharma and Sanjeev - The entire case revolves around these three people. These three people’s testimony and 9 affidavits filed by Shreekumar before Nanavati Commission - They are the star witnesses of this complaint and protest petition.

Rohatgi: This is not the job of SIT to see who was transferred, why they were transferred. Still they examined. Those who transferred were all examined, but they did not want to make any comments on the transfer.

Mr. Rohatgi reading out the SIT’s conclusion on Sreekumar, calling his statement motivated.
