Special CBI judge K M Dave while dismissing the petition observed that the agency was already investigating the case further after having filed the charge sheet in December 2012.
The petition, moved by Jamal's brother Shabbir, soon after CBI filed charge sheet, sought further investigation into the case as the petitioner claimed that conspiracy angle to the alleged encounter was not revealed.
The petitioner wanted investigation into the alleged role of police officials including retired DIG D G Vanzara, who is now out on bail in Ishrat Jahan alleged fake encounter case, P P Pandey, currently serving as in-charge DGP, and Mumbai police officer Daya Nayak, in the crime as also the political motive behind it.
During the arguments held earlier, the petitioner had sought a court-monitored time-bound investigation, saying that nearly four years after submitting the charge sheet, the agency had not placed any report before the court on further investigation carried by it.
In its charge sheet, CBI said that the encounter was staged as Jamal was brought to Ahmedabad from the custody of Mumbai police by Gujarat police officials Tarun Barot and seven others.
