The state government in it’s rejoinder affidavit indulges in unnecessary falsehoods stating that victim survivor Ameenabehn Rasool who is the main petitioner was not aware of the facts contained in the affidavit. The state of Gujarat, in its rejoinder affidavit has
made a false statement saying that the victim Maqsoodabibi had refused to exhume the dead body. To prove their case, the petitioners (in their rejoinder to rejoinder affidavits filed in the first week of March 2006) have annexed affidavits of Maqsoodabibi and her mother-in-law namely Umravbibi that contain details of the dead body of Yusufbhai Ahmedbhai Sheikh.
