When the matter came up for hearing before Justice Samir Dave, he said "not before me," but didn't assign any reason.
Gujarat High Court judge Justice Samir Dave on Tuesday recused himself from hearing the regular bail plea of activist Teesta Setalvad in connection with a case of the alleged fabrication of evidence to frame innocent people concerning the 2002 Gujarat riots.
When the matter came up for hearing before Justice Samir Dave, he said "not before me," but didn't assign any reason.
Ms Setalvad is out on interim bail granted to her by the Supreme Court on September 2.
The Ahmedabad crime branch had registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Ms Setalvad, former DGP RB Sreekumar, and ex-IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt, after the Supreme Court dismissed a petition challenging the clean chit given by the SIT to then Chief Minister Narendra Modi and others in 2002 post-Godhra riots cases.
