Read our privacy policy India’s Supreme Court has dismissed a plea challenging the findings of a Special Investigation Team report on the 2002 Gujarat riots which cleared the state’s then-chief minister Narendra Modi as well as 62 other senior government officials in the 2002 Gujarat riots. On Friday, a bench headed by Supreme Court justice AM Khanwilkar upheld the order of a special metropolitan magistrate rejecting Ms Jafri’s petition against the closure report filed by the SIT. The top court also upheld a Gujarat high court order that had also dismissed Ms Jafri’s petition challenging the SIT report and said that it found “the appeal is devoid of merits and deserves to be dismissed in aforementioned”. Ms Jafri’s case attempted “to pin responsibility for the Gujarat 2002 carnage on the people who were in power at the time… people who failed to prevent the spread of violence, and may have done so deliberately,” said the Citizens for Justice and Peace, a nonprofit that is the second petitioner in the matter.
