The Gujarat government on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that it has supplied relevant documents and CDs containing call details relating to the Soharabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
A bench comprising justices Aftab Alam and Ranjana Prakash Desai asked the CBI to verify about the documents and CDs from the list provided by the state government.
The Gujarat government supplied the list of documents to the CBI in response to the December 1 direction of the apex court by which it was pulled up for its failure to hand over telephone call details of senior police officials pertaining to the case.
During the hearing, former Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium, who is assisting the court as an amicus curaie in the matter, said even the CBI which was handed over the probe has not conducted a full investigation and has left out the role of the Andhra Pradesh Police in the case.
Former Gujarat home minister Amit Shah, who is an accused in the case, had also contended that CBI deliberately omitted its investigation concerning the role of the Andhra Pradesh Police for political reasons.
Further, like Shah's counsel Ram Jethmalani, the former Solicitor General said the CBI has also failed to probe how Sohrabuddin's wife was killed and cremated after the fake
encounter of November 25, 2005.
Subramanium said since Shah has already been out on bail granted by the Gujarat High Court and if the apex court upholds the order, it should not relax conditions imposed on him.
He opposed the CBI plea for shifting the case outside Guajrat saying that the ground raised by the agency in which it made insinuation against the state judiciary was unwarranted and unacceptable.
