Gandhinagar: The
Gujarat High Court is expected to decide Feb 23 whether or not
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and others should be summoned
before the Nanavati-Mehta judicial commission probing the 2002
riots cases.
The development comes after rights group Jan Sangharsh Manch's
lawyer Mukul Sinha sought the final hearing on the issue. The
bench of Chief Justice S.J. Mukhopadhaya and Justice Akil Kureshi
has kept the matter for final disposal on that date.
JSM filed a petition in high court seeking directions to the
commission to summon the chief minister, three of his staff
members in the chief minister's office, former minister Gordhan
Jhadafia and others for cross examination.
The demand comes after disclosure of CDs prepared by Indian Police
Service officer Rahul Sharma containing call details of Modi and
the others with some accused in the riots case.
The Nanavati commission had earlier refused to call the chief
minister but later clarified that the decision of not summoning
him and others was not final and it may call them, if required.
