New Delhi, Sept 12: Terming the appeal filed by Gujarat government in the Best Bakery case before the high court as a "complete eyewash", the apex court said it had no faith left in the prosecution and Gujarat government to bring rioters to the book. It also issued summons to the state`s DGP and Chief Secretary.
A bench, comprising Chief Justice V N Khare, Justice Brijesh Kumar and S B Sinha, said, "What is the `rajdharma` of government? You quit if you cannot prosecute guilty. Democracy does not mean you will not prosecute anyone."
Ignoring repeated pleas of the Gujarat government that it will amend its prayers and grounds in the appeal before the high court, the apex court directed the state Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police to appear personally before it on September 19.
