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

Mr. Rohatgi emphasises that in her testimony for Shreekumar, she said that she had met him once; at the time of testimony he was working with Teesta Setelvad. She also testified that Shreekumar ‘narazgi hain sarkar k sate’.

Rohatgi: Kindly see, the first deposition is of the complainant. Her cross examination starts from pg. 7.

Rohatgi: This has nothing to do with us (SIT) as per the order of the SC.

Two or three depositions in Gulberg provided to the Bench.

Rohatgi: So, the position is that everybody was complicit and only three fellows spoke the truth - Rahul Sharma, Shreekumar and Sanjeev. All three adversely commented upon by SIT and Commission. That is the ultimate position.

Rohatgi: Turn to 703, the list of accused to be added. It ends at 708. So, no credible material except allegations in the air.

Rohatgi: Obviously, there was a failure of administration, because they were overrun. What not taking phone call by fire brigade has to do with the additional material in Gulberg. 

Rohatgi: They(other side) say, the calls not taken by fire brigade. Police Commission is to be penalised because Municipal Corporation did not pick up the phone.

Rohatgi: Now about fire brigade and Pandey. Fire brigade functions under the Municipal Corporation.

Rohatgi: Turn to page 551, last line. para 806 is about parading. It (protest petition) says 'This records shows there was a swelling of a belligerent crown at 3'. Is this believable. The bodies reached at 3:35 pm.

Rohatgi: Now, about Jayanti Ravi

Bench: Who is Jayanti?

Mr. Rohatgi informed the Bench that Jayanti was the DM, Godhra and related to the issue of parading of dead bodies.
