SC stays all further proceedings in Ishrat Jahan case

The Supreme Court has stayed all further proceedings in the Ishrat Jahan case in the Gujarat High Court relating to the fake encounter killing of the alleged teenage extremist by the state anti-terror squad.<br/><br/>While staying the proceedings, a Bench of Justices B Sudershan Reddy and Deepak Verma posted the matter for further hearing to the 7th of this month.<br/><br/>The apex court passed the direction on an application moved by Shamima Kaushar, Ishrat Jahan's mother, complaining that the Gujarat High Court should not take up any matter relating to the issue as the matter is pending in the apex court. <br/><br/>The apex court had earlier on October 6 issued notice to the state on Shamima's petition challenging the Gujarat High Court order staying the report of the magistrate S P Tamang, who had strongly indicted the state for stage managing the encounter killing.
