The Centre filed a fresh affidavit in the Gujarat High Court on Wednesday in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case, saying it never justified the action of Gujarat police and had no objection to an independent inquiry in the case. It said the Central Government is not concerned with the merits of the action taken by the Gujarat Police and anything stated in the earlier affidavit was not intended to support or justify the action of the State police. Judicial inquiry in the Ishrat Jahan case by magistrate S P Tamang had concluded that the encounter of Ishrat Jahan was fake.
