The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a plea questioning the clean chit given to Narendra Modi by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) in its probe in connection with the 2002 Gujarat riots.

A bench comprising justices H L Dattu and S A Bobde also declined the plea for reconstituting the SIT involving retired judges of the apex court, including a person from the minority community.

Referring the plea questioning the SIT clean chit given to BJP leader and Gujarath Chief Minister,the bench said that reconstitution of SIT at this stage is not good. After the bench's remark, the advocate who had filed the petition, decided to withdraw it and it was allowed.
