Sibal: That is all he deals with. Anil Patel, Babu Bajrangi, there are six seven others. He has not even looked at it. Neither he looks at it nor HC looks at it which is why we made those compilations. The entire discussion is then on conspiracy.
Sibal: [Mag says] Extra judicial confession is weak piece of evidence and requires corroboration. He deals with the extra judicial confession of one person. Where is the rest of it that I had put before your lordship.
Sibal: [Mag says]Telecast of AajTak is not mentioned in complaint. It was with SIT, it could not be with the complainant. He is dealing with the complaint and not the evidence that was with SIT. At the stage of issuing processes he talks about veracity of tapes.
Sibal: Then we go onto the next Vol. At 273 there is an allegation I am not dealing with. Then Milords, Kindly see how he deals with Tehelka tapes at pg. 281.
Sibal: Then he talks about complaint of Ashok Bhat and Zadeja. He accepts what the SIT says.
Mr. Sibal emphasises that not documentary evidence provided by complainant but the evidence with the SIT had to be looked into by the Mag.
Sibal: This is contrary to what is on record. [Mag says] Handing over of dead body to private person is not beyond law.
Sibal: [Mag. says] No untoward incident had taken place. He said Govt. took law and order measures
Sibal: He does not give a finding on Godhra trial as the matter is pending before Sessions Judge. [Mag says]The argument that the procession of dead bodies helped in spreading violence could not be accepted at this stage. Then at what stage can it be acceptable.
Sibal: Then he talks about Godhra. We are not concerned with that. Then pg. 232 is his finding.
