Ishrat’s Mother Challenges Staying of Tamang Report

Shamima Kausar, mother of Ishrat Jahan who was killed in an alleged fake encounter, on Thursday moved the Supreme Court challenging a High Court order staying a judicial probe report, which described the incident as “cold blooded murder”.

The petition filed by advocate Kamini Jaiswal contends that the High Court had wrongly entertained a petition filed by the Gujarat state government and granted stay on the report of judicial magistrate SP Tamang.

Kausar contends that the Tamang report could not be stayed as the Magistrate had conducted the inquiry on the order of the Chief Judicial Magistrate.
