              New Delhi: In a relief 
              to former Gujarat minister Amit Shah, the Supreme Court Thursday 
              stayed all proceedings against him before a court in Ahmedabad 
              over the 2006 alleged staged shootout killing of Tulsiram 
              Prajapati.
 The apex court bench of Justice P. Sathasivam and Justice Ranjan 
              Gogoi, while ordering the stay on the proceedings, said that 
              initially the bench had thought of referring the matter to the 
              high court but decided to hear it as it involved interpretation of 
              its own order handing over investigation to the Central Bureau of 
              Investigation (CBI).
 
 Senior counsel Mukul Rohtagi, appearing for Shah, told the court 
              that instead of filing a separate chargesheet the CBI could file a 
              supplementary set of charges.
 
 He said Gujarat Police had already filed a chargesheet in the case 
              earlier.
 
 The court issued notice to the CBI and directed the listing of the 
              matter Nov 23.
 
 According to the CBI, Prajapti, who was suspected to be an aide of 
              alleged gangster Sohrabuddin Sheikh, was killed by Gujarat Police 
              in the state in 2006 a few weeks after the staged shootout killing 
              of Sheikh.
