| Supreme Court Rejects Plea of Sacked IPS Officer Sanjiv Bhatt for SIT Probe

| The Supreme Court today dismissed the plea of sacked Gujarat cadre IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt seeking a court-monitored SIT probe in relation to the two FIRs lodged against him for allegedly forcing his subordinate to file an affidavit in a 2002 riots case and hacking email of a law officer.
The bench comprising Chief Justice HL Dattu and Justice Arun Mishra also said the trial in these two cases be conducted "expeditiously."
Mr Bhatt, who had earlier sought a CBI inquiry into the two FIR, later changed his prayer and sought a court-monitored SIT probe on the ground that now the persons against whom he has certain grievances, are now running the government at Centre.
The former IPS officer had also sought impleadment of BJP president Amit Shah, the then MoS Home in the state government and RSS functionary S Gurumurthy as parties in his petition which was also rejected.
The IPS officer, dismissed from service on August 18 this year, had filed the petitions in the top court in 2011 against the lodging of FIRs against him by the Gujarat Police.
On September 23, the top court had reserved its verdict after Gujarat government had rubbished the claim of Mr Bhatt that he was present at a meeting to discuss law and order situation during the 2002 communal violence at residence of the then Chief Minister.
Senior advocate Indira Jaising and lawyer Prashant Bhushan, appearing for Mr Bhatt, had alleged collusion among top state government functionaries, the then Additional Advocate General, the then minister of state for home and some lawyers for the accused and sought court-monitored SIT probe into Mr Bhatt's claims.
Indira Jaising had argued that a SIT probe, instead of seeking CBI investigation, was needed to inquire into the "collusion of the highest order" as the then Chief Minister is now the Prime Minister and the then AAG is now the Additional Solicitor General of India.
