Ahmedabad, 10 May 2012

Three days after the Supreme Court appointed Special Investigation Team supplied Closure report and related documents to complainant Zakia Jafri, today Zakia’s lawyers complained about deficiency in the documents supplied.

“Our today’s plea was in two parts,” Teesta said.

“Many critical documents that SIT submitted are not given to us. A preliminary inquiry report by Mr. AK Malhotra on 12 May 2010, on which Raghvan analyzed and gave comments is not presented before court. We believe it’s a serious thing. Also further investigation reports are not submitted. Ashok Narayan, Gordhan Zadafia’s statements in assembly are not presented. Fire brigade register, Gujarat Home ministry’s noting on the transfer of police officers, Gujarat Law ministry’s notice on appointments of public prosecutors and Rahul Sharma’s CD of phone call records. We pointed out that we should get these documents so that we can prepare our protest petition,” she said.

“The court will hear the case on 19 May,” she added.

“Our protest petition will be argued in July-end,” she said.
