The special CBI sessions court, after hearing the arguments from both sides, reserved its order till October 8.
After two months of legal sparring, the two senior counsels finished the arguments on the bail application of Amit Shah, former home minister of state who is lodged in the Sabarmati Jail for his alleged involvement in the fake encounter case of gangster Sohrabuddin. The special CBI sessions court, after hearing the arguments from both sides, reserved its order till October 8.
After his arrest by the CBI, Shah had moved for the bail application on the grounds that there is no substantial evidence in the charge sheet against him and the entire arrest drama is politically motivated to defame him and target Gujarat CM Narendra Modi.
Ram Jethmalani, defending Shah, had argued that CBI has not proceeded with the investigation in the case with clean hands and Shah has no role to play in it. He is being falsely targeted for political reasons. The counsel had said in his arguments on September 16 that the CBI's target was Modi, chief and to attack him, CBI has 'trapped' Shah. To prove the alleged malafide intentions of CBI, Jethamalani had produced the internal communication of CBI officials to directorate of CBI seeking permission to implicate Shah and Modi.
However, seeking a rejection of the bail, CBI's lawyer KTS Tulsi argued that the CBI has ample evidence to prove Shah's involvement in the case.
In fact, Shah was the head of the syndicate and used Sohrabuddin to run the extortion racket. In the concluding argument on Wednesday, Tulsi pointed out that the conspiracy to tamper with the evidence and threatening of the witnesses is still on at the behest of Shah with the help of people from inside and outside the jail.
However, Tulsi disputed the communication produced by Jethmalani and had said that the said document is fabricated. On Wednesday he submitted to the court that the production of the alleged fabricated document is a desperate attempt to divert the heat from the gruesome crime.
Tulsi submitted that Shah has forfeited his right for bail by such activities of destruction of evidence and urged the court that he should not be released on bail.
