Ahmedabad: A division bench of Gujarat High Court on Wednesday recused itself from hearing appeals in 2002 Naroda Patiya riots case, with the judges saying that “an accused tried to approach a colleague”.The petitions were moved by ex-BJP minister Maya Kodnani, ex-VHP leader Babu Bajrangi, among others sentenced to life imprisonment challenging their conviction by a trial court in the case. The division bench of justices MR Shah and KS Jhaveri ordered to place the matter where “either of us is not a member”. Justice Shah told the lawyers representing the convicts and the prosecution, “We have some reservations on conducting the case…an accused tried to approach a colleague.”
