"Appeared For Amit Shah But...": Ex Chief Justice UU Lalit To NDTV
NDTV
Before his elevation as a judge in August 2014, Justice Lalit represented Amit Shah in the alleged fake encounter killings case of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and Tulsiram Prajapati in Gujarat.
Recently retired Chief Justice of India Uday Umesh Lalit today said he had appeared for Home Minister Amit Shah in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case, but it was "inconsequential" as he was never the lead counsel.
Responding to a question by NDTV, he said, "It is true that I appeared for Amit Shah, but it was inconsequential as the lead counsel was Mr Ram Jethmalani."
Justice Lalit also pointed out that the government changed in May 2014, while he was asked for the first time to represent Mr Shah in April while the earlier regime was still in power.
"The process started way before the regime changed," he said.
