Order against summoning Modi not final: Nanavati
The HinduNanavati-Akshay Mehta judicial inquiry commission probing the Godhra train carnage and the post-Godhra communal riots in 2002 told the Gujarat High Court on Thursday that its September 18, 2009 order rejecting the plea of the Jansangharsh Manch to summon Chief Minister Narendra Modi for cross-examination was “not a final order.” A letter written by the commission secretary was submitted to the High Court by Advocate-General Kamal Trivedi. Mukhopadhyaya and Justice Akil Kureshi told the Manch's counsel that the commission had not taken a “final” decision on not summoning Mr. Modi. Manch petition Manch advocate Mukul Sinha had filed the petition following the commission's September 2009 order in which it had ignored its plea to summon Mr. Modi but had asked only three of his personal secretaries to submit details of mobile phone calls during the 2002 communal riots. The commission rejected the plea saying it did not find the demand for cross-examining Mr. Modi and others justified, following which the Manch filed the petition in the High Court.
