CNN-IBN reports: The Supreme Court has ordered a local court in Gujarat not to pronounce its verdict on the alleged role of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the 2002 riots in the state. 

The Supreme Court ruled that until its decision of Zakia Jafri's petition is not announced, the Gujarat court should not give its verdict. 

The magistrate has to decide whether the Special Investigation Team's closure report is to be accepted or not.

Zakia, the widow of former Congress MP Ehsaan Jafri who was killed during the riots, had filed a petition in the Supreme Court that the SIT had not given her all the documents so she should be provided those documents. Now the Supreme Court will decide whether the documents would be given to Zakia or not.
