New Delhi: More than nine years after the Supreme Court appointed to sit in contemporary then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi and the others from the alleged conspiracy behind the post-Godhra Riots, killed by MP Congress Zakia Jafri’s wife on Wednesday tried to revive this case with Looking for an investigation into a conspiracy and said that accountability will reaffirm faith in the rule of law.
SC has asked to sit in 2009 to look into complaints from Jafri 2006 which accused a larger conspiracy involving politicians, bureaucrats and police leading to free Rioteer after 59 Kar Sevaks killed in burning Sabarmati Express in Godhra.
The riots went on three days which caused the loss of hundreds of lives before the army was called to bring order.
Sitting led by former CBI director R Raghavan in 2012 has submitted a report to SC said there was no evidence demanded against Modi.
Appearing before the justice bench am Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and CT Ravikumar, Senior Advocate of the Capil Sibal made the presentation eagerly crossing the corner and corners of the same evidence on the record and said, “the most confusing investigation part is that sitting does not even take into account the tehelka shock operation Providing a clear indication of the possibility of a greater conspiracy.
Sting reports were questioned by the CBI on NHRC orders.
The same thing was used to punish accused in the case of other riots.
But, sitting did not consider this as evidence to investigate a greater conspiracy.
“Sitting It did not arrest people.
It did not record a statement accused.
Anything told by the defendant was believed to be the truth of the gospel and further investigation was not taken.
It was part of the conspiracy to slide on investigations to provide clean chit, “said Sibal.
He draw parallel between the 1984 anti-sikh riots in Delhi to Riot Gujarat 2002.
“Because of the poor investigation carried out by Delhi police, even after 37 years of prosecution in the case of anti-Sikh riots still ongoing.
When there is no proper investigation, the situation As it appears.
This is a test case for the Supreme Court to inform the world that Indian secular credentials and their faith in the law supremacy are intact, “he said.
He said when the 56 body Incident Carnage Train Godhra reached Ahmedabad, it was only natural that communal passion would be in high places.
“Why does administration and the police have not declared curfews and let angry hordes to take the law to their own hands? Why did the body post-corpse done on the Godhra Railway platform? Why were the bodies handed over to VHP Strongman? Who is making this decision? Why The army calls after allowing Rioteer two full days to run Amok? Why does the police do not enter into actions even though there are repetitive messages from the land? All these questions need to be asked by sitting.
But, it believes in the people accused and not conducting further investigation.
The entire chain of events, carefully recorded in various riot cases, it needs to be thoroughly investigated, “said Sibal.
The argument will continue on Thursday.
Sibal said police officers were upright like R B Sreekumar, Rahul Sharma and Sanjiv Bhat, who asked questions about handling riots by political classes, ordered in various cases.
“Sitting was assigned to investigate Jafri’s complaint.
But, it did not follow the procedure set out in the criminal procedure code to go about the task mandated by the court to explore a larger conspiracy,” said Sibal and gave the asphalt of the neutrality of Raghavan.
