Gandhinagar: A special
designated court trying the 2002 Gulberg Society massacre during
the Gujarat riots Thursday rejected the plea to summon Indian
Police Service officer Sanjiv Bhatt as witness in the case.
Victims' lawyer S.M. Vora moved an application urging the court
that Bhatt be summoned as witness.
He said it was needed in the wake of
Bhatt's affidavit before the Supreme Court, in which he made
allegations related to the riots against Chief Minister Narendra
Modi.
While rejecting the victims' plea, designated Judge B.J. Dhandha
noted that the matter was pending before the Supreme Court and it
had appointed a lawyer to look into the matter.
He ruled that it was not advisable
to call Bhatt as a witness at this stage.
Prosecution lawyer R.C. Kodekar started the final arguments to
establish the role of various accused in the massacre, in which 69
people were killed in Meghaninagar Feb 28, 2002.
