Gujarat Riots- Zakia Jafri's Plea Against Clean Chit To Narendra Modi And State Functionaries- LIVE UPDATES

Sibal: You [Sandesh Newspaper] bring out fake news. Police said nothing like this happened. SIT does not investigate and come to your lordships and says 2000 people are being prosecuted.

Sibal: The hate material. I am giving your lordships all the undisputed material. SIT said people are being prosecuted in 2000 cases. How is that relevant for these material in our cases. When VHP advertisement says 'khoon ka badla khoon’, why are they not arrested?

Sibal: SIT said that the CDRs were produced only in 2008. CDRs [provided by Rahul Sharma] were available in 2004.

Sibal: The whole S6 and S7 [Sabarmati train bogies] could be avoided if they took heed of the Intellience reports and acted on it. That is the submission.

Sibal reads from Now, back to my compilation.

Sibal: Much was made by the SIT that he [Shreekumar] was not there during the riots. But these are official documents, he did not have personal knowledge. We are relying on official record, he was referring to official record.

Mr. Sibal refers to (1977) 4 SCC 39.

Sibal: This is by J. S.Murtaza Fazal Ali. I got the opportunity to argue before him. In fact I should tell your lordships, next year I’ll compete 50 years at the Supreme Court Bar. I have seen the great voyage of this Court and had the privilege to argue before different judges.

Mr. Sibal refers to State Delhi Admin v. I.K. Nangiya (1980) 1 SCC 258

Sibal: [Reading from the judgment] Not to evaluate documents and its merits...The court not to embark on possible defences.

Sibal: The Magistrate is not to believe or disbelieve witnesses at this stage. The Magistrate said that the body was not handed over to Jaydeep. In fact, there was evidence to the contrary.
