After lengthy arguments made by Shri Prakashbhai Thakker, senior counsel for the petitioners, Justice AS Dave of the Gujarat HC has issued notice to the Gujarat Government on the petitioner’s plea for stay and transfer of the FIR-related investigations to CBI and posted the case for urgent hearing on April 28, 2006. Meanwhile no action can be taken by the Gujarat Police on the investigation.

In 2009, the Supreme ourt of India dismissed the woman victim’s plea for correction of the investigation. Now survivors are approaching the Apex Court in a Curative Petition. Worse still the Apex Court makes no order for allowing speedy and dignified disposal of the remains of the missing persons.
