Gulberg riot: Court ticks off SIT,asks for probe papers

The special trial court for the 2002 Gulberg Society riot case on Monday asked the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) to produce relevant documents of its probe carried out on a complaint by Zakia Jafri before the court.

Making its displeasure known after SIT sought adjournment on the ground that its final report on Zakia’s application was pending for adjudication by the Ahmedabad Metropolitan Court,the special court of B J Dhandha tersely asked it if there was anything to hide in the documents which were sought.

Salim Shaikh,the lawyer for victims and witnesses in the case,said the next hearing on the matter would be on June 18.
