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

Sibal: Vol III of my compilation. SIT argued that no crowd had gathered.

SIT document show crowds had gathered.

Sibal: The same logic applies to post-mortem in railway yards. Why was a crowd allowed and the post -mortem was conducted before the crowd. Why were photographs being taken. These questions were never asked by SIT.

Sibal: Why was it handed over to VHP personnel had to be investigated. They (VHP) even got private trucks and they were escorted. Bodies handed over to VHP people, they were escorted by the police escort. Investigation was to be why they were handed over the bodies.

Sibal: The controversy is that he (Mamtaldar) said that he was given oral instructions by Jayanti Ravi, she said that she gave no such instructions. They (SIT) accept Jayanti and reject Mamlatdar. Both 161 statements.

Bench: This seems to be some Pandey.

Sibal: I am told it is Patel. Maybe this will be clear from the Mamlatdar’s affidavit at 245. 

Sibal: On Tehelka, I am done, now I come to others. SIT said that the bodies were not handed over to VHP. Nothing on record to show. The evidence is to the contrary. Kindly come to pg. 249. This is handing over of dead bodies. This is Hasmukh Patel.

Sibal: The Commissioner was to be asked why did you not seize the phones when violence was going on. Not a single victim statement recorded by the SIT.

Sibal: Now Milord, your lordship knows that there were PCR messages that there was going to be violence. The gathering at Solah Civil hospital was not family members. The SIT has not looked into these.

Sibal: No your lordship. Further investigation was ordered. Supplementary chargesheets were filed. With respect.

Bench: You keep saying that there was no investigation. SIT said that evidence was on record. We will see these.

Sibal: As far as everything was done by State Govt. come to 49. Is it not enough that this court stayed the trial because the State was not doing anything.

Bench: Weren’t the stayed trials those where investigation was complete?
