New Delhi:
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged role of
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in post-Godhra killing of
ex-Congress MP Ehasan Jafri submitted its report to the Supreme
Court.
The SIT chief and former CBI Director R K Raghavan submitted the
report in a sealed cover to the SC registry as directed by the apex
court in its May 6 order.
The SIT had earlier sought time for submitting the report as it
wanted to question VHP International president Praveen Togadia who
was last week questioned by the SIT which had earlier questioned
Modi and several other persons named in the complaint lodged by the
slain MP's wife Zakia.
The apex court had on April 27, 2009, asked the SIT to look into the
complaint of Zakia about the alleged role of Modi and others in
Gulbarg Housing Society killing in which the former MP was burnt
alive along with several others during the post Godhra 2002 communal
riots in Gujarat.
Modi was earlier grilled by the apex court-appointed Special
Investigation Team on his alleged role in the 2002 killing of Jafri
as the deceased, according to the complaint, had made frantic calls
for help to police and the Chief Minister.
The Gujarat government had in a subsequent affidavit in the apex
court questioned the SIT's power to summon Modi for interrogation.
Earlier on May 6, the Supreme Court had restrained the trial court
from pronouncing its judgement in 2002 post-Godhra communal riots
cases but refused to stay the ongoing trial, as sought by certain
NGOs and rights activists.
"The trial court shall proceed with the trial but no judgement shall
be pronounced," a bench of Justices D K Jain, P Sathasivam and Aftab
Alam had said.
The apex court also appointed A K Malhotra, a former DIG of CBI, to
verify allegations of lapses in investigations being conducted by
the SIT into 2002 Gujarat communal riots.
The Bench had passed the direction while dealing with the plea of
the NGO Citizen for Justice and Peace of Teesta Setalvad and some
rights activists who sought a stay of the trial and sought
reconstitution of SIT for its alleged bias.
The apex court said Malhotra would verify the allegations after
examining the reply filed by SIT on the issue.
Gujarat government has strongly opposed reconstitution of the SIT
and stay of the trial which it said was almost on the verge of
conclusion as almost all witnesses had been examined.
The apex court granted permission to SIT to take steps for
replacement of two public prosecutors who had withdrawn from the
case alleging non-cooperation from the probe agency and one of them
also attributed bias to the trial judge.
The bench agreed to the suggestion of amicus curaie and senior
counsel Harish Salve that the two new public prosectuors would be
appointed through consensus after eliciting the views of the
petitioners also.
The 10 cases being monitored by SIT on the earlier directions of the
apex court are--Gulberg Society, Ode, Sardarpura, Narodao Gaon,
Naroda Patya, Baranpura, Machipith, Tarsali, Pandarwada and
Raghavapura.
