2002 Gujarat Riots | High Court 'Not Inclined' To Quash FIR Against Teesta Setalvad In Mass Grave Digging Case

Live Law  

​​The Gujarat High Court on Monday expressed its disinclination to quash a First Information Report filed at the Mahisagar district in 2006 against activist Teesta Setalvad in the Pandarwada mass grave digging case. The matter was listed before Justice Sandeep Bhatt who wondered “why are such dead horses required to be pulled?” Justice Bhatt further said, “After going through the record, I'm not inclined, prima facie, you have to satisfy.” In 2017, Setalvad had filed a petition in court following her inclusion in an FIR dating back to 2011, which was related to her alleged involvement in the digging graves and exhuming 28 bodies from a mass burial site near Pandarwada in Panchmahal district in December 2005. In 2006, the Gujarat Police had filed a case against Teesta Setalvad under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code including 192, 193 for fabricating false evidence, 201 for causing the disappearance of evidence, 120B for criminal conspiracy, 295A for deliberate and malicious acts aimed at offending religious sentiments by insulting its religion or religious beliefs, 114 for abetment and 297 for trespassing on burial grounds. Case Title: TEESTA ATUL SETALVAD D/O LATE ATUL SETALVAD Versus STATE OF GUJARAT & 1
