Sohrabuddin case: SC rejects plea against clean chit to Amit Shah

Previously, Bombay High Court order had upheld the discharge of the BJP President by the trial court

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a petition challenging the discharge of BJP President Amit Shah in Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.

"Rejected," a bench comprising Justices S A Bobde and Ashok Bhushan said after nearly a half-an-hour hearing on the plea filed by former bureaucrat and social activist Harsh Mander.

Mander had challenged the Bombay High Court order which had upheld the discharge of the BJP President by the trial court in the case.
