The Supreme Court dismissed the petition and criticized the Modi government for its petition seeking review of the Supreme Court’s April 12 order transferring the Best Bakery case outside of Gujarat to Maharashtra.
According to the Court:
“[T]he modification application shows the arrogance of the State Government. It is refusing to accept even the order of the highest court of the land.”…
The Bench told counsel that the State could not “browbeat the Supreme Court like this. If this happens to the Supreme Court, we shudder to think what will happen to the High Court or the subordinate courts. You are giving us an impression that every judgment we write, we should take you into confidence before we pronounce it.”
The Gujarat section of the blog gives background and developments in the cases arising out of the 2002 Gujarat pogroms against Muslims.
