Nearly four years after 12 people were convicted of the March 26, 2003 murder of former Gujarat minister Haren Pandya, the state government says it has vital new details about the case.
These may be presented to a Division Bench of the Gujarat High Court in a sealed cover tomorrow, when the convicts’ appeals come up for hearing.
In a letter written on March 28, Government Pleader Prakash Jani requested the High Court registrar to keep the “vital details” in the Registrar General’s custody, to be placed on record in connection with the proceedings in the court.
“An important development has taken place”, Jani said, “which may be required to be pointed out during the course of hearing or otherwise, if need be... The State of Gujarat, therefore respectfully prays that the vital details concerning the appeals contained in a sealed cover may kindly be permitted to be placed on record...”
