It should not encounter any impediment in finding the respondent&#8217;s (Vanzara&#8217;s) whereabouts, or getting his address. We often direct the investigating officers to serve notices, so in this case the CBI should do it to avoid further delays in hearing,&#8221; Justice Mohite-Dere said.<\/p>\n<p>The special CBI court in Mumbai, hearing the case after the Supreme Court ordered for the trial to be transferred out of Gujarat, had discharged the above three officials on the ground that the CBI had failed to get prior sanction or the special permission to prosecute them.<\/p>\n<p>However, on a previous hearing, Justice Mohite-Dere had questioned whether the lack of such sanction alone could be an adequate reason to warrant an accused person&#8217;s discharge from the case.<\/p>\n<p>She had also dismissed the CBI&#8217;s argument that it had challenged the discharge of two Rajasthan police sub-inspectors Himanshu Singh and Shyam Singh Charan and senior Gujarat police officer N K Amin.<\/p>\n<p>The judge had observed that while the CBI was opposing the discharge of sub-inspectors and constables, it had conveniently gone quiet on the discharge of most of the senior IPS officers.<\/p>\n<p>Today, advocate Tiwari told the high court that while the CBI had challenged Singh and Charan&#8217;s discharge in 2016, the pleas were yet to be taken up for hearing by the HC.<\/p>\n<p>The high court has now tagged together all the pleas filed by Rubabuddin Shaikh and the CBI in the case, and will hear them together on January 29.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 38 people accused in the case, 15, including 14 IPS officers, have been discharged by the special court.<\/p>\n<p>The CBI has challenged the discharge of two junior officers, and one of the 14 senior officers (N K Amin) accused in the alleged fake encounter cases of Sohrabuddin Shaikh, his wife Kauser Bi, and also that of Ishrat Jahan.<\/p>\n<p>Sohrabuddin Shaikh and his wife were allegedly abducted by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad from Hyderabad on their way to Sangli in Maharashtra.<\/p>\n<p>Shaikh was killed in an alleged fake encounter near Gandhinagar in November 2005, after which his wife disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Prajapati, an aide of Shaikh and an eyewitness to the encounter, was allegedly killed by police in Chapri village in Gujarat&#8217;s Banaskantha district in December 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Vanzara, who was heading the ATS at the time, was charged by the CBI for having conspired with the other accused officials to kill Shaikh and the other victims and pass the incident off as an encounter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Central Bureau of Investigation told the Bombay High Court today that it will not challenge the recent discharge of any of the senior IPS officers in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh encounter case.
