Last week, the Supreme Court dismissed the plea filed by Zakia Jafri, wife of late Congress legislator Ehsan Jafri, challenging the closure report filed by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) that gave clean chit to then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and others. The apex court agreed that there was no “larger conspiracy”.
The SC was hearing a special leave petition, which challenged the October 2017 judgment of the Gujarat high court, after it accepted the SIT closure report dismissing allegations of a “larger conspiracy” against the state administration.
