Ehsan Jafri

The Supreme Court rejected an appeal against exoneration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a 2002 Gujarat riots case. The appeal by Zakia Jafri, wife of Congress MP Ehsan Jafri who was killed in the violence, was "devoid of merits", the court said

Gujarat riots case: The petition had been filed by Zakia Jafri, wife of Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, who was among the 68 people killed in what came to be known as the Gulbarg Society massacre.

The Supreme Court has reserved its verdict on a petition seeking a fresh probe in the 2002 Gujarat riots by activist Teesta Setalvad and Zakia Jafri, the widow of Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, who was killed during the violence.

There is no "larger conspiracy behind the Gujarat riots", the investigating police team told the Supreme Court on Wednesday, in response to allegations by Zakia Jafri - the widow of Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, who was killed in the violence.

The SIT, probing the Gujarat riots, told the Supreme Court today that the allegation of a larger conspiracy in the 2002 riots has been "blown out of proportion" by claiming that several persons in the state government then were "complicit".

The 2002 riots in Gujarat could have been prevented but no preventive measures were taken, Zakia Jafri told the Supreme Court today targetting the state's administration and the law and order machinery.

Supreme Court on Tuesday objected to Zakia Jafri - the widow of Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, who was killed in the 2002 Gujarat riots - alleging "collaboration" between the SIT and some of the accused, including then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

The Special Investigation Team looking into the 2002 Gujarat riots ignored a mass of evidence and drew conclusions without any investigation, Zakia Jafri, the widow of Ehsan Jafri -- the Congress MP murdered in the riots -- told the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court today adjourned by two weeks the hearing on a plea of Zakia Jafri, the wife of late MP Ehsan Jafri, challenging the Special Investigation Team (SIT) clean chit to then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the 2002 riots case.

The Supreme Court today fixed for hearing on April 13 the plea of Zakia Jafri, wife of late MP Ehsan Jafri, challenging the SIT's clean chit to then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the 2002 riots case, saying it would not entertain any request of adjournment on the next date.

Saying that the matter had been adjourned many times and will have to heard someday, the Supreme Court today fixed April 14 for hearing a plea by Zakia Jafri, wife of slain MP Ehsan Jafri, challenging the SIT's clean chit to then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi in the 2002 riots.

A petition by Congress leader Ehsan Jafri's widow in 2014 challenging the clean chit to the state's top politicians including then Chief Minister Narendra Modi and bureaucrats in a 2002 Gujarat riots case is expected to be decided by the high court today.

The Gujarat High Court is likely to pronounce on September 26 its order on a petition filed by killed Congress leader Ehsan Jafri's widow Zakia challenging a lower court order upholding a clean chit given to then Chief Minister Narendra Modi and others in the 2002 riots cases.

The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday began hearing on a petition by former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri's widow Zakia challenging the clean chit given by a lower court to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and 58 others regarding their alleged role in the 2002 Gujarat riots.

Firing by former lawmaker Ehsan Jafri, one of the 69 victims of the Gulbarg Society massacre in Gujarat in 2002, acted as a catalyst for the mob that killed him, a court said yesterday while sentencing 11 of the attackers to life in jail and 13 others to lesser terms.
