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

Mr. Sibal reads that the Mag. stated extra-judicial evidence is not credible and needed corroboration.

Sibal: This is to be done at the trial. The whole test is wrong. The approach is wrong.

Mr. Sibal points out that the Mag. had stated that the complaint does not disclose the Tehalka tapes.

Sibal: Under what provision of law you (Mag) need corroborative material. See what he (Mag) says.

Sibal: [Reading justification given by Haresh and Babu for their tapes] SIT is now doing something that the defence is required to do, namely give an explanation. Were they prosecuting or defending the accused? They (SIT) said these are spicy statements.

Sibal: Item 7 - evidence of arms being brought in through police control room messages. I don’t want to go into disputed evidence. This is corroborated by a PCR message. So, some statement of sting is corroborated by official messages. SIT does not deal with it at any stage.

Sibal: The other parts of the tape are part of Naroda Pateya

Sibal: Item M - Jaydeep Patel sitting in hospital and counting bodies of muslim to see if the ‘job’ is done.

Item N, Item O, Item P. Over the page to U - spoke to Zadafia and was advised to run away. Then V. These items have nothing to do with Naroda Pateya.

Sibal: Babu Bajrangi is dealt with in pg 240. He was prosecuted and convicted in Naroda Pateya. What I want your lordships to note is Item J and K - Gujarat wide crime, meeting of minds...;

Sibal: Haresh Bhatt. Not an accused. Same thing.

Sibal: Ramesh Dave and Rajendra Vyas. Statement recorded and accepted.

Bench: That seems to be the pattern, according to you?
