SC reserves verdict on Amit Shah petition

The Supreme Court on Wednesday reserved its verdict on a plea by former Gujarat minister Amit Shah against CBIs attempt to make him stand trial separately into the killings of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and Tulsiram Prajapati in alleged fake encounters.

Shahs counsel Mahesh Jethmalani has claimed that CBI,with sinister design and malafide, has filed separate chargesheets in the two cases. He has argued that CBI had secured probe in the Prajapati case only in order to explore a larger conspiracy in the Sohrabuddin case.
