New Delhi: The Supreme
Court Saturday issued notice to former Gujarat minister of state
for home Amit Shah on a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
petition seeking stay of a Gujarat High Court order giving him
bail in the 2005 Sohrabuddin Sheikh staged shootout case.
However, the apex court bench of Justice Aftab Alam and Justice
R.M. Lodha directed Shah to stay out of Gujarat till Nov 15, the
next date of hearing.
Shah has been asked to file his reply to the CBI petition by Nov
12 and the investigating agency will file a rejoinder before Nov
15.
The high court Friday granted bail to Shah, who was arrested July
25.
Justice R.H. Shukla of the high court allowed the release of Shah,
a legislator of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from Sarkhej in
Ahmedabad, on a bond of Rs.1 lakh.
Shah, who was lodged in the Sabarmati jail, has been asked to
report once a week at the investigating agency's office for the
first three weeks and thereafter once a month.
