August 28, 2012 12:28
The Supreme Court today said it would consider allowing former Gujarat Minister Amit Shah, an accused in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, to enter the state in view of the upcoming assembly polls but would like the trial of the case to be shifted to Maharashtra.
"That is one aspect. That must come to an end (keeping him outside the state)," a bench comprising justices Aftab Alam and Ranjana Prakash Desai said. However, the bench said it has strong reservation over holding the trial of the case in the state. "We have strong reservation about the trial to be conducted in the state. Trial has to go to Maharashtra," the bench said.
