Will Modi Ever Come Out of the Shadow of the Riots?

An article on DNA clearly states the following, “The case is not yet closed, nor has the court passed an order giving a clean chit to Modi. In its order dated September 12, 2011, the Apex Court had ordered the trial court that in case the SIT report fails to find evidence against Modi, the court should not close the case without hearing the petitioners including Zakia. And that it should get all the documents and reports submitted by the SIT.” “The only reprieve for Modi - which has been dubbed wrongly as 'clean chit' - is the conclusion of the SIT in its report claiming that it had found no evidence to register an FIR against Modi for involvement in the carnage at Gulbarg Society.” the article says.

"The SIT shall give a copy of the final report, statements of witnesses and all related documents to Zakia Jafri within 30 days of this order. As per the Supreme Court order and also the principle of natural justice, she can then be heard before taking any legal action on the SIT's closure report," the metropolitan magistrate said.
