The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that Zakia Jafri, wife of slain Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, was entitled to the entire Special Investigation Team (SIT) report barring comments of its chief into the Gulberg Society riots case of 2002 post-Godhra violence.

The apex court set aside two orders of an Ahmedabad court denying the materials relating to the probe to Zakia Jafri. The SIT had said that the 2002 case against Modi and 62 others should be closed.

Zakia Jafri's husband, Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, was burnt to death in the riots of 2002. On April 27, 2009, the apex court had asked the SIT to look into the complaint of Zakia allegedly blaming 63 people, including the chief minister, for inaction.
