Gandhinagar:
The Gujarat High Court Monday granted permission to conduct voice
sample test on two accused - Babu Bajrangi and Jaydeep Patel - in
a case related to killings at the Naroda Gam area in Ahmedabad
during the 2002 riots.
Justice M.R. Shah allowed the
prosecution plea to seek the court's nod to conduct the voice
test.
Prosecution lawyer J.M. Panchal argued that a CD of a sting
operation by a media organisation revealing their involvement and
their acceptance of killing people in Naroda Gam was taken as
evidence by the trial court.
He said that the voice sample test was necessary to prove that the
voice in the sting operation's CD matched with the accused's
voice.
Earlier, a special court trying the riots cases rejected the plea
of Supreme Court appointed special investigation team (SIT) to
take the voice samples.
The special court observed that the law did not provide any
specific provision under which a court could direct the accused to
give voice samples for a test.
In a sting operation, Bajrangi and others admitted their
involvement in the killings.
