Ishrat Jahan encounter case: SC dismisses bail plea of suspended Gujarat officer Amin

January 15, 2015 14:46

The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a bail plea of suspended Gujarat cadre IPS officer NK Amin, arrested in the 2004 Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case.

The court rejected Amin's plea that he was entitled for 'default bail' since the CBI had failed to file chargesheet against him within 90 days of arrest, as required under the Criminal Procedure Code.Amin, who was arrested on April 4, 2013 in the case, had contended that the chargesheet filed on July 3, 2013 was incomplete and hence it amounted to not filing the charge-sheet within 90 days.Amin had to move the apex court after the High Court held that the chargesheet filed by CBI could not be deemed incomplete.
