Sohrabuddin's fake encounter: SC rejects plea against clean chit to BJP chief Amit Shah

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a petition challenging the discharge of BJP President Amit Shah in Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.

"Rejected," a bench comprising Justices SA Bobde and Ashok Bhushan said after nearly a half-an-hour hearing on the plea filed by former bureaucrat and social activist Harsh Mander.

Mander had challenged the Bombay High Court order which had upheld the discharge of the BJP President by the trial court in the case.
