The Justice Nanavati Commission probing the 2002 post-Godhra riots in Gujarat, is ready with its final report which is expected to be submitted to the Gujarat state government by 15 November.
‘The commission will not ask for another extension from the government,’ Justice G T Nanavati told PTI here on Wednesday. Earlier, Gujarat government granted 24 extensions to the commission. The tenure of its 24th extension, granted on 30th September, ends on 31st October. ‘There is no need to seek a 25th extension, because our final report is ready. It is now being printed and will come to us in a few days. We will submit it to government by 15 November,’ Justice Nanavati said. The commission comprises retired judges G T Nanavati and Akshay Mehta. In 2008, the inquiry panel had submitted one part of its finding about the Godhra train burning incident, in which it had concluded that burning of the S-6 coach of Sabarmati Express was a ‘planned conspiracy’.
