New Delhi: The Supreme Court today dismissed
a petition filed by Gujarat government seeking a review of its
judgement directing a CBI probe into the killing of gangster
Soharabuddin Sheikh in a fake encounter in 2005.
The apex court also declined to expunge the remarks
against senior IPS officer Geeta Johri, who had headed the
team investigating the case in which Kauser Bi, wife of Sheikh
was also eliminated by the Gujarat police.
A Bench comprising Justices Aftab Alam and Cyriac Joseph
did not find merits in the review petition filed by the state
government as also by Johri.
Gujarat government had sought a review of the January 12
verdict directing a CBI probe on the ground that the state
agencies were holding proper investigation.
Johri had contended that the adverse remarks were passed
against her without giving her an opportunity to be heard.
