2002 riots: Supreme Court issues notices to Nanavati Commission, Gujarat govt

Ahmedabad:  The Supreme Court has sent a notice to the Gujarat Government and the Nanavati Commission on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL).  The  PIL seeks issue of summons to chief minister Narendra Modi for his examination before the probe panel.

The PIL was filed by an NGO called Jansangharsh Manch, which had earlier approached the Nanavati Commission. It had pleaded that Mr Modi should be summoned and examined in the 2002 riots cases as there are 'evidences of his complicity.' But the Nanavati commission had rejected its plea.

Later, they moved the High Court, which too rejected the plea.

The NGO then moved the Supreme Court, which today issued a notice to Nanavati commission and the Gujarat government.
