Ishrat case: HC reserves order on CBI probe till Aug 12

Ahmedabad, July 23: Sayyed further submitted that the ballistic science is a very specialised subject, and when in the microscopic comparison in laboratory it can be found out which bullet is fired from a particular weapon.

Magistrate Tamang has relied on the ballistic report and concluded that police fired from AK-56 at the deceased and planted weapons on them, the lawyer argued. Expressing distrust over state machinery, Sayyed said that the state government was supporting G L Singhal’s petition challenging Tamang report, as Singhal was one of the officers named in the report.

He said that Singhal in his petition has made state government a respondent, however, the state during the hearing supported Singhal’s case of quashing Tamang report. “If the prosecution in the state behaves in this manner, how can we trust it for our case, wherein the allegations are particularly against top cops,” the lawyer submitted.
