Amit Shah exempted by CBI court from appearance in encounter cases

Mumbai: The special CBI court in Mumbai yet again exempted BJP leader Amit Shah from appearing before it on Friday in connection with the alleged fake encounter cases of Tulsiram Prajapati and Sohrabuddin Sheikh. [caption id=“attachment_1603269” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]Amit Shah was exempted from appearing in two encounter cases. Reuters Amit Shah was exempted from appearing in two encounter cases. Reuters[/caption] “(Shah) is engaged in political work in New Delhi and therefore not able to come to court,” read the exemption application filed by Shah’s lawyer Robin Mogera. Special Judge BH Loya later adjourned the case till 17 July after taking on record the exemption applications of Shah and some of the other accused. Meanwhile, the court is likely to hear Shah’s discharge application on 14 July. Last time on 20 June, Judge Loya’s predecessor Judge JT Utpat had reprimanded the counsel of Shah for seeking exemption without assigning any reason to it. “Every time you are giving this exemption application without assigning any reason,” judge Utpat had said. Judge Utpat was transferred to Pune on 25 June. The court had on 9 May issued summonses to Shah and other accused in the case, which had been transferred from Gujarat to Mumbai earlier this year. The CBI had charge-sheeted Shah and 18 others, including several police officers, in the case last September. According to CBI, gangster Sohrabuddin Sheikh, who was claimed to have links to Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, and his wife Kauser Bi were abducted by Gujarat’s Anti-Terrorism Squad when they were on way from Hyderabad to Sangli in Maharashtra and killed in an alleged fake encounter near Gandhinagar in November 2005. Tulsiram Prajapati, an eyewitness to the encounter, was killed by police at Chapri village in Banaskantha district of Gujarat in December 2006. According to the CBI, Shah, who was then Minister of State for Home, was allegedly involved in the conspiracy behind both the incidents. PTI
