New Delhi: Supreme
Court Friday recalled its notice to the Gujarat government and the Nanavati Commission on a plea to summon Chief Minister Narendra
Modi to record his statement on his alleged role in the 2002 post-Godhra
riots in the state.
An apex court bench headed by Justice D.K. Jain recalled the
notice, noting that it was issued not on a plea for summoning Modi
by the Commission, but related to the summoning of some witness in
Godhra train burning case.
Since a petition relating to the summoning of Modi before the
Nanavati Commission is yet to be taken up by the top court, the
bench took serious note of senior counsel Colin Gonsalves going
wrong in the case.
"We trusted you, but this case has no connection to the witnesses
mentioned. Hence we are recalling our order," the court said.
As another case relating to the summoning of Modi by the Nanavati
commission is yet to be put up for hearing, the court directed
that it will be taken up on March 26.
