Court orders summons be issued to Amit Shah to depose as defence witness in 2002 Naroda massacre case
The court passed the orders after former Gujarat minister and BJP leader Maya Kodnani, sentenced to life imprisonment in the Naroda Patiya massacre case, had sought additional time for Shah to appear in her defence in court.
Kodnani’s lawyer Amit Patel moved an application and prayed that summons be issued to Amit Shah at his Ahmedabad address.
The court granted direct service to her lawyer for sending the summons.
Kodnani is among 82 accused in the Naroda Gam case in which 11 Muslims were killed on February 28, 2002, a day after the Sabarmati Express was torched at the Godhra railway station, killing 59 on board coach S-6, mostly kar sevaks returning from Ayodhya.
