Jethmalani mulls plea for recall of Sohrabuddin case from CBI

Former minister of state Shri Amit Shah’s advocate in Sohrabuddin encounter case Shri Ram Jethmalani, on Monday said he intends to move the Supreme Court seeking recall of its January order handing over probe of the Sohrabuddin encounter case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Addressing the media at Courtyard Marriotte hotel in Ahmedabad,Shri Ram Jethmalani said that the CBI’s case lacked substance and did not have any ‘credibility’. ‘I still don’t know what their case is and what it is trying to prove,’ he added.

Jethmalani blamed the media for ‘unfair’ reporting and said media hase become the mouth piece of the CBI.

‘You have become the mouth piece of the CBI. You cannot do so. You are the jurors but the trial in the court is still on. My client is entitled to a free and fair trial so I request all of you to use your own judgment and write things only after checking the records.’

He said media cannot run a simultaneous trial.

‘This is all a political game and the media should keep out of it,’ he said.

Asked what his defence for Shah,Jethmalani responded,’We’ll all meet up again after ten days and that time I will reveal things which will be shocking.’
