| | SC reserves order on CBI’s plea to cancel Amit Shah’s bail | | | NEW DELHI, Sep 6 (Agencies):The Supreme Court on Thursday reserved its order on CBI’s plea for cancellation of former Gujarat minister Amit Shah’s bail in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case and for shifting the trial of the case outside the state.
“We are going to pass a very brief order,” said a bench of Justices Aftab Alam and Ranjana Prakash Desai.
It added it would also consider Shah’s plea for permission to enter the state in view of the upcoming Assembly elections there.
During the two-hour-long hearing, senior advocate Ram Jethmalani said Shah is ready to accept any condition to continue on bail and is willing to give even an undertaking that he would not in any way, influence the trial.
The CBI has sought cancellation of Shah’s bail saying he cannot be treated differently from other accused in the Sohrabuddin case who have been denied bail.
The agency added it has filed a charge sheet in the case of Tulsiram Prajapati killing two days ago, in which Shah and erstwhile top police officials have been charge-sheeted.
The CBI said Prajapati was a witness in the Sohrabuddin case and his killing was part of a larger conspiracy in which Shah, as the then head of the state administration, was involved. |
