    Supreme Court to continue hearing today the petition filed by Zakia Jafri challenging the SIT's clean chit to the then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi & other high functionaries in the #GujaratRiots of 2002.

    A Bench comprising Justices AM Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and CT Ravikumar is hearing the matter.

    On Wednesday, Mr. Mukul Rohatgi, appearing on behalf of SIT, emphatically submitted that the SIT had conducted an impeccable investigation and on certain occasions went beyond their means to meet the ends of justice. Over a course of seven days, a Bench comprising Justices AM Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and CT Ravikumar had heard the detailed submissions of Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal demonstrating the failure of SIT in investigating the matter.

      Rohatgi: Wherever mobiles available they (SIT) have been checked.

      Rohatgi: Kindly note, your lordship, that the train was to reach Godhra at 2AM in the morning. The train was delayed by 5 hours and then this incident happened. God knows if this train had reached at 2 and then to Ahmedabad, this would not have happened.

      Rohatgi: Item No. 31. This I would like to read. This is one of the Anil Patels, who was a doctor. So the allegation is that the meeting was actually for a revenge attack after the train burning incident.

      Rohatgi: I was reading allegation 38 - Slack review of post riots cases by Govt. As I said, nothing to do with conspiracy.

      The Bench presides.

      Mr. Rohatgi resumes his arguments.

      Bench: We’ll continue after lunch. 

    • 25 Nov 2021 8:32 AM

      Rohatgi: Allegation no. 27 - no action taken against officers ..who filed incomplete affidavit. What is to SIT do. Allegation No. 28 - Slack review of post riot cases. Then, court is to pull up, what can SIT do?

    • 25 Nov 2021 8:32 AM

      Rohatgi: Someone can say that they could have taken better action, that is different. But, saying they were all mixed up is not correct. 

    • 25 Nov 2021 8:31 AM

      Rohatgi: Allegation was that police officer’s phone was switched off. The allegation was incorrect. SIT examined CDRs and call records. That is why Tandon is adversely commented on, that he was not active.

    • 25 Nov 2021 7:26 AM

      Rohatgi: Now, police inaction facilitated riots is a part of conspiracy. Then allegation against Pandeya, Tandon, Gondia.
