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

Sibal: I have never made motives of buildup. The SIT said that if I was saying that the train was burnt by VHP. All I said was that if there was a buildup then it had to be investigated.

Sibal: Agrument on Rahul Sharma was that why did he keep the CDRs till 2008. He had given it in 2004. The SIT did not even get the facts right. Rahul Sharma is not a star witness. If you stoke the fire, the pot will boil.

Sibal: I have relied on official records, I did not rely upon Shreekumar. I relied upon official records, corroborated by him. I have not mentioned about Sanjeev Bhatt. They have made elaborate submissions on that. How is it relevant to the facts of the case?

Sibal: They have been quoting para and verse from the Commission of Enquiry. We were at least taught in law school that nothing can be done on reports of Commission of Enquiry, findings are inadmissible because it is not a court.

Sibal: Yet they pleaded larger conspiracy. Times change, laws change. Changing stands and changing positions are the order of the day. How can an SIT which pleaded conspiracy say that there was no conspiracy now.

Sibal: The next thing that I’ll demonstrate is that conspiracy is only discovered in the course of investigation. The SIT pleaded a case of larger conspiracy in Gulberg, rejected by the Court. Unfortunately, then this material was not available and could not have been used.

Sibal: A submission is made that it is related to Gulberg. But the compliant is not related to Gulberg. 90% does not relate to Gulberg. You say complaint is beyond Gulberg but you look at it with respect to Gulberg.

Sibal: What is an FIR? It is a piece of info. and not encyclopaedia of facts.

Sibal: Secondly, the SIT said that you cannot look beyond the complaint. This is not a private complaint, this is are piece of informations. On which the SC asked the SIT to take it into account and investigate the matter.

Sibal: Where undisputed documents and material does not raise strong suspicion he would order further investigation. That is all that the Mag had to do.
