Mumbai, 20 June, 2014
A CBI court here today allowed former Gujarat Minister of State for Home, Amit Shah’s exemption application in the 2006 Tulsiram Prajapati fake encounter case and fixed the next date of hearing on 4 July.
“Every time you are giving an exemption application without assigning any reason,” said special CBI judge JT Utpat after CBI counsel BP Raju opposed Shah’s exemption application.
The court had allowed the exemption plea of Shah earlier on 6 June and postponed the hearing till today.
“Shah is engaged in political work in New Delhi and therefore not about to come to court,” read his application filed by his lawyer Robin Mogera.
The court is likely to pass an order on the discharge application filed by Shah on 25 June.
The court had on 9 May issued summons to Shah and other accused in the case, which was transferred from Gujarat to Mumbai this year.
