2002 riots: HC judge recuses from hearing Kodnani bail plea

The Hindu  

A single judge bench of the Gujarat High Court on Tuesday recused itself from hearing a plea by former State Minister Maya Kodnani, convicted in the 2002 Naroda Patia riot case, seeking regular bail on the ground of her ill—health. Kodnani has submitted in the bail plea that her appeal challenging the judgment of a special court is pending before the Gujarat High Court since December 2012. A Special SIT court had in August 2012 awarded life imprisonment to then BJP MLA Maya Kodnani, Bajrang Dal leader Babu Bajrangi and 29 other convicts for the 2002 riots at Naroda Patia in which 97 people were brutally killed. The court had named Kodnani, a minister in former Gujarat Chief Minster Narendra Modi’s Cabinet, as “a kingpin of riots” in Naroda area and sentenced her to 26—year life imprisonment.
