The Gujarat High Court Wednesday refused to grant an urgent hearing to rights' activist Teesta Setalvad, who has sought to quash the case lodged against her for alleged evidence fabrication in relation to Godhra riots.

RB Sreekumar, a former Director-General of Police (DGP), has been granted regular bail in a case of fabricating evidence connected to the 2002 Gujarat riots. The Gujarat High Court let Sreekumar go on a personal bond of Rs 25,000, instructing him to surrender his passport. He had already been out on interim bail. The Supreme Court granted social activist, Teesta Setalvad, bail in the same case on July 19.

The state government had opposed his bail plea saying the alleged offence is a very heinous crime and there is a prima-facie case against him and the role attributable to him in support of the charge.

The rights' activist had moved the High Court earlier this week, to quash the complaint filed against her for allegedly fabricating evidence pertaining to the Godhra riots to implicate then Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

Last month, a sessions court had rejected Setalvads discharge plea in the case, even as the Supreme Court granted her bail. | Latest News India
