Ahmedabad: A protest petition filed by Zakia Jafri seeking rejection of the SIT report giving clean chit to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and others in the post-Godhra riots case is likely to come up for hearing in a local court on Wednesday. Zakia, wife of 2002 post-Godhra riots victim and former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri who was killed in the Gulbarg Society riots along with 68 others, had filed the petition in the court of Metropolitan Magistrate BJ Ganatra earlier in April 2013.
She sought rejection in toto of the closure report filed by the Supreme Court-appointed SIT on February 8, 2012. The Metropolitan Magistrate BJ Ganatra had ordered to hear the case on daily basis from April 24, 2013. "It is most likely that SIT will start its argument as it will be opposing our petition," advocate SM Vora, representing Zakia in the case, told PTI. In her petition, Zakia demanded filing of charge sheet against Modi and 58 others whom she had named in her complaint filed before the supreme court on June 8, 2006.
