In a boost to the CBI, one of the accused police officer in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh case, N K Amin today filed an application in a lower court to become approver and has also sought pardon in the case. The officer filed the application under section 306 CrPC for being considered as an approver and for grant of pardon in the 2007 case. Amin filed another application seeking transfer from the prison, saying he faced threat to his life in Sabarmati jail where he is currently lodged with other accused in the case. Additional chief judicial magistrate A I Raval issued notice to the CBI on the applications of Amin and will hear the matter tomorrow. Amin was assistant commissioner of police (ACP), city crime branch, before being arrested in 2007, on a statement of a witness involved in the operation of abducting Sohrabuddin and his wife Kausar bi from Andhra Pradesh. Amin's application comes just a day after CBI arrested former Gujarat minister Amit Shah in the case. An advocate representing Amin, Rajesh Modi said there was a threat to his client's life from the co-accused in the case. "There is a threat to Amin's life from other accused as all are lodged together in the Sabarmati Central jail here.So we have decided to move an application for transfer of Amin from Sabarmati jail," Modi said. Apart from him, police has arrested four IPS officers and other lower-ranked officers in the case, charging them with criminal conspiracy, murder, kidnapping and extortion.

Peace means respecting all rights. You can’t respect one of them and violate the others. When a society doesn’t respect the rights of its citizens, it undermines peace and leads it back to war.” -- Maria Julia Hernandez www.otherindia.org www.binayaksen.net www.phm-india.org www.phmovement.org www.ifhhro.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "humanrights movement" group.
