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

Bench: What was indicated is this your main grievance is that this material has not been investigated at all. We do not have to read that material again and again.

Sibal: How does this court determine whether there was a larger conspiracy or not.

Sibal: What I have tried to do throughout is in absence of investigation how do you establish larger conspiracy.

Bench: That the other side had shown, but you did not read that, so they have not dealt with it.

Sibal: Let me respond to your lordships. I pleaded a larger conspiracy, how do I establish it.

Sibal: We are saying otherwise, that you have not relied on the material on larger conspiracy.

Bench: In Rejoinder you have to point out what best remedy can be available for you. You have not referred to material on larger conspiracy. Local conspiracy has been dealt with, if there is something further to be investigated, point that out.

Mr. Sibal refers to conduct of local police.

Bench: How is the conduct of local police relevant here? That is why investigation was given to SIT.

Sibal: This Court passed an order to stay the trials, but it never said local admin should not continue investigation in other cases.

Sibal: They have in fact successfully protected the accused. In fact the prosecution and the investigating agency want this material to be effaced from the memory of this nation.

Sibal: Milords kindly see what is happening here, the state chooses not to act, SIT chooses not to act, we are in 2021, what investigation will happen now after 19 years?

Sibal: How can the SIT that had relied upon the sting, prosecuted people on the basis of sting, today before your lordship says that they don’t find it reliable?

Sibal: Everthing in a chargesheet relied upon by prosecution is ultimately to be proved. Even this tape has to be there, Ashish Khetan has to come to court and the court will decide. Here the SIT has not investigated. They have accepted the statement of accused.

Sibal: Then, kindly come to, see the last two line of pg. 32. If there is a disclosure statement it is admissible under 25, if there is a denial you cannot rely on it because it is witness statement.
