suspended policeman and an accused who wanted to turn approver in
the case, withdrew his application in a court.
Amin moved a five-page application in a local court here with a
prayer to be at the liberty to file the same before the sessions
court at the relevant time. The plea was accepted by the court.
Amin referred to various issues like delay in the execution of his
approver application, the threat to his life following which he
was shifted to Vadodara Jail from Sabarmati Central Jail, his
implication in the case and the conspiracy to keep him inside the
jail and get him killed there.
He contended that he has been implicated in the case by the
investigating agencies.
Amin contended that looking at the circumstances after he moved
the application to turn approver in the case, he has decided not
to press the application before the court.
His lawyer Jagdish Ramani said that accepting his plea Additional
Chief Judicial Magistrate A.Y. Dave disposed it.
Amin moved the application seeking court's permission to turn
approver in the case and pardon for himself July 26 last year.

a trace since then, is believed to have died under mysterious
circumstances a few days later.
