Mumbai session’s court accorded 9 accused in the "Best Bakery case" with life sentences and acquitted 8 others for lack of evidence. Four others with non-bailable warrants are still at large. After the Godhra incident where scores Hindu passengers were mercilessly burnt in an organized fashion by a Muslim village, riots in Ahmedabad by Hindu mobs targeted Muslims. Many activists accuse that this was a pogrom sponsored by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Mobs attacked Muslims, businesses, and civilians in an organized and brutal fashion. The case was moved out of Gujarat to Maharashtra as victims and activists say that they cannot get justice in Gujarat. The 17 dealt with the court, were accused of being in this mob. Specifically, they were accused of unlawful mob assembly, mischief by fire, causing grievous hurt, and using dangerous weapons. Of the 9, 5 had additional charges of damage to property, arson, dacoity, wrongful confinement, and criminal trespass. The "Best Bakery case" has been mired with controversy after the prosecution's star witness, Zahira Sheikh, turned hostile against her sponsor human rights activist and journalist Teesta Setalvad. Most certainly, this case will go on appeal as the judge pointed out that the police failed to provide incontrovertible evidence of special part played by any of them. This incident was also part of a written debate between then President Narayanan and Prime Minister Vajpayee. Narayanan may have breached Constitutional statues when he outed this secret dialogue and selectively quoting some of the contents. The Nanavati Commission examining the riots try to summon those documents but the Government refuses to divulge the letters seeking Constitutional privilege stating that the contents of the letter may seriously damage social structure.
