On 2002 riots case, Gujarat HC judge recuses himself from hearing activist Teesta Setalvad's plea over quashing of FIR

Hindustan Times  

Justice Samir Dave of the Gujarat High Court on Thursday recused himself from hearing a plea filed by social activist Teesta Setalvad seeking quashing of an FIR filed against her by the Ahmedabad crime branch for allegedly fabricating evidence in the 2002 riots cases. Social activist Teesta Setalvad was arrested on June 25 last year for allegedly fabricating evidence, committing forgery and hatching a criminal conspiracy to frame PM Narendra Modi and others in the 2002 communal riots cases in Gujarat. Last month, a sessions court had rejected Setalvad's discharge plea in the case, even as the Supreme Court granted her bail after the Gujarat High Court denied relief to her. Setalvad and two others - former state Director General of Police R B Sreekumar and former Indian Police Service officer Sanjiv Bhatt - were arrested by the city crime branch in June 2022 on charges of forgery and fabricating evidence with the intent to implicate the Gujarat government functionaries in the 2002 riots cases.
