In 2002 Gujarat riots case, Supreme Court granted relief to SIT Special Investigation Team Chief RK Raghvan and K Venkatesh by exonerating them based on health ground. New SIT Chief will further the investigation.
A two member bench of Chief Justice JS Khehar and Justices DY Chandrachud and SK Kaul considered the submission of senior advocate, assisting the court as an amicus curiae, that Raghavan be relieved from the duty of heading the SIT.
The bench hailed the work done so far by the SIT and allowed the request of advocate while asking AK Malhotra, another member of SIT, to monitor the functioning of the probe team.
