New Delhi:
The Supreme Court Thursday asked senior counsel Raju Ramachandran
to give his independent assessment of the Special Investigation
Team's (SIT) status report in the Gulbarg Soceity massacre case.
The apex court bench of Justice D.K. Jain, Justice P. Sadashivam
and Justice Aftab Alam told Ramachandran, who is assisting the
court as amicus curiae (friend of the court) in the case, that he
was free to interact with the witnesses and police officers named
in the status report.
The court asked former Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
director and SIT chairman R.K. Raghavan to make available a copy
of the status report to Ramachandran.
The court-appointed SIT was directed to investigate the Gulbarg
Society massacre in the wake of a petition by Zakia Jaffri, the
widow of former Congress MP Ehsan Jaffri, who was among the 69
people killed in the massacre in the society in the aftermath of
the Godhra communal riots of 2002.
