Gujarat High Court has transferred the Ishrat Jahan encounter case to the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team or SIT.The SIT headed by former CBI director R K Raghvan will now further investigate the encounter case of 19-year-old Ishrat Jahan and three others.A division bench of Justices Jayant Patel and Abhilasha Kumari observed that there is no material on record to conclude that the encounter was with malafide intentions and, therefore, the plea for a CBI inquiry by the mother of the girl was not granted.However, the probe done by the previous police officers was found to be not satisfactory hence the genuineness of the encounter deserves further investigation.The court has directed the state government to make necessary orders within two weeks to transfer the case to SIT.The court has also told the SIT to submit its report within three months after it begins investigations.Mumbai-based Ishrat was killed in an encounter along with Javed Ghulam Sheikh alias Pranesh Kumar Pillai, Amjad Ali alias Rajkumar Akbar Ali Rana and Jisan Johar Abdul Gani by crime branch officials near Ahmedabad on June 15,2004.
