Bench: Mr. Sibal you have made a point that the script has not been looked at in closure report, HC or Mag. We do not have to read it like that. Only if other side points out that this has been considered then we can see.
16 Nov 2021 3:30 PM IST
Sibal: I am not saying this is proved.But, why was the investigation not done. Now that is the SIT for your lordship. There is another part of Haresh Bhat's testimony.

Sibal: [reads transcript] I owned a gun factory.. used to make firecrackers, we made all the bombs there, used to supply there. We got two truckloads of swords from Punjab.

Sibal: [Reads from transcript: How could you get (bomb) when curfew was imposed. I got them from MP, Bihar...Only swords were brought?.. we made (rocket) launchers filled with gun powders. Was it used everywhere? In Ahmedabad? Yes, I am talking about Ahmedabad]
16 Nov 2021 3:23 PM IST
Sibal: Then to pg 401. Milords I want to clarify that the entire transcripts are more than what we have given. We have culled out the relevant one. We will give the page in the note correlating to the transcript.

Sibal: Testimony not relied upon. This man was never arrested, never investigated. Then there is the transcript of Haresh Bhat, Vol VB. From pg 381 a summary - [handpicking of PPs and defence advocates; police did not stop use of bombs and smuggling of arms]
16 Nov 2021 3:16 PM IST
Sibal: Kindly note that this was 27th afternoon. Bodies have not reached Ahmedabad.
Mr Sibal reads the note in the transcript which states Dhawal instructs his men in Gujarati to get bomb-making material and explains the procedure.
16 Nov 2021 3:13 PM IST
Sibal: [Transcript stated Police stood by...supported the mob]. Why this ommission by SIT? Why was this man not arrest? Because obviously he needed protection.
16 Nov 2021 3:12 PM IST
Sibal: Your Lordships will see that this was not referred to by the prosecution, SIT or Mag. Why did SIT not rely upon this? This refers to conspiracy. You are sending bombs all across. This is a larger conspiracy.
16 Nov 2021 3:09 PM IST
Sibal: Actually there is no heading. I have added it in my document for convenience. Your Lordships will take Volume VA. Kindly come to the (Tehelka) transcript of Dhawal Patel.
