Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case; Supreme Court dismisses review plea against Amit Shah

The Supreme Court has dismissed a plea which sought to review its decision of upholding the clean chit given by subordinate courts to BJP President Amit Shah in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.

The apex court rejected the plea of activist Harsh Mander challenging the order by which it had dismissed the appeal against the discharge of the BJP leader in the case by the Bombay High Court upholding the trial court order.

"We have perused the review petition and the connected papers. We do not find any error in the order impugned, much less an apparent error on the face of the record so as to call for its review."

The review petition is accordingly dismissed," a bench of Justices S A Bobde and Ashok Bhushan said in its order of October 19.
