Notice on Gujarat police officer's posting in CBI

By Our Legal Correspondent

NEW DELHI, APRIL 5. The Supreme Court today issued a notice to the Centre, Gujarat Government and CBI on a petition challenging the appointment of the former Ahmedabad Police Commissioner, P.C. Pandey, as Additional Director of CBI.

The notice was issued by a Bench of Justice Ruma Pal and Justice P. Venkatarama Reddi on a petition filed by the secretary of the Citizens for Justice and Peace, Teesta Setalvad.

The petitioner alleged that Mr. Pandey, who was the Commissioner, was morally responsible for the carnage that took place in 2002 during the post-Godhra riots. The apex court was now seized of a number of incidents, which took place during the period of Mr. Pandey in which CBI investigation had been demanded.

It would be a great injustice to the riot victims as Mr. Pandey had let the incidents happen due to his negligence, if not conspiracy and connivance. The petitioner prayed for quashing his appointment as Additional Director of CBI.
