Gandhinagar: The
Gujarat High Court Monday fixed April 22 for the next hearing on
whether Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi should be summoned by
the Nanavati-Mehta panel probing the 2002 communal riots in the
state.
Petitioner Mukul Sinha of Jan Sangharsh Manch concluded his
arguments and counsel for the state government sought time to argue
the matter.
Appearing before the bench comprising Chief Justice S.J.
Mukhopadhaya and Justice Akil Kureshi, Sinha said that the court had
the jurisdiction to direct the commission of inquiry to quiz the
chief minister.
The court earlier asked both the parties as to whether it could
direct a commission of inquiry in any manner.
Sinha said that questioning of Modi, other ministers and police
personnel by the commission was essential as failing to do so would
defeat the purpose behind the inquiry.
Sinha earlier moved an application before the Justices (retired)
Nanavati-Mehta inquiry commission to summon Modi and others over
their alleged role in the riots.
After the plea was rejected, he moved the high court.
