LIVE UPDATES- Gujarat Riots Case- Supreme Court Hearing On Zakia Jafri's Plea Against Clean Chit To Narendra Modi

Bench rises for the day. Hearing will continue next on November 16, Tuesday.

Sibal lists out names including Arvind Pandeya, Anil Patel, Haresh Bhat, Babu Bajrangi, Bharat Bhat, Deepak Shah, Dhawal Patel, Demant bhat, Dilip Trivedi, Prhalad Raju, Chawal, mangilal Jain, Kakul Pathak, Suresh Richard.

Sibal : NHRC passes an order to authenticate the Tehelka tape. The SIT records 13 individuals whose extra-judicial confession was obtained. The dates of the sting and statements are recorded.

The person who filed the FIR against Aaj Tak was Arvind Pandya, a Public Prosecutor, whose sting interview was taken by the Tehalka journalsit.

Sibal says that the defence of the person in the sting that he was only reading out a script given to him was rejected by the Gujarat High Court.

Sibal mentions that there was an FIR against TV Today for telecast made by Aaj Tak of the Tehalka sting reports under the name "Operation Kalank". The High Court quashed the FIR.

Sibal refers to a statement of a police officer in the report on anonymity that sword distribution was rampant and swords were given to any volunteer who paid Rs 200.

Sibal : Police officers have a different view. Holding up one confiscated sword, a police officer had said, "Look, most of them are more than four feet long. They

slice through flesh on touch. Just touch the edge to a man's throat and dead".

"I haven't tried", Sibal adds.

Sibal refers to Haresh Bhat statement "Swords and trishuls are not weapons but divine instruments used by Gods".

"I told you he is a philosophical man!", Sibal adds.

Sibal refers to the representative image of the riots -a picture published by Indian Express of a man with saffron headband brandishing a sword.

Sibal says there were reports of mass distribution of swords in Hindu areas.
