Proceedings against Amit Shah stayed in Prajapathi case

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed all further proceedings before a trial court in Gujarat in the ‘Tulsiram Prajapathi case’ in which the CBI had cited the former Gujarat Home Minister, Amit Shah, as an accused. The Bench granted the stay till the next date of hearing after senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi submitted that the CBI had misrepresented the judgment in the Prajapathi case and filed a fresh charge sheet instead of a second supplementary charge sheet. He said the CBI had filed a charge sheet against him and others with an ulterior motive of causing his arrest/sending him to judicial custody for the second time for the very same offence though he was already arrested and released on regular bail by the Gujarat High Court holding that there was no prima facie case against him. Though the CBI ought to have filed a supplementary charge sheet in the same Sohrabuddin case, it committed a deliberate, wilful and politically motivated fraud with this court and registered a fresh offence ostensibly based upon the judgment entrusting the investigation of the Prajapathi case to it, Mr. Shah alleged. The charge sheet dated July 23, 2010 in the Sohrabuddin case substantiates this fact.” Contending that the second charge sheet filed by the CBI was a mala fide exercise of power, Mr. Shah sought a direction to quash the FIR dated April 29, 2011 declaring the same to be contrary to the direction issued in the judgment and order dated April 8, 2011.
