Nanavati panel moves HC against order to provide int records

Justice G T Nanavati commission, which is probing the 2002 Gujarat riots, today filed a review petition against the High Court order allowing the suspended IPS officer Sanjeev Bhatt to inspect the state intelligence records.
"Commission can file a review petition and it has been already filed before the High Court today," Justice (retd) Nanavati told PTI here this evening.
Earlier in the day, when Bhatt sought to inspect the documents following the High Court's order, the commission declined.
The High Court, on June 16, had directed the commission to allow Bhatt to inspect intelligence records, irrespective of whether they are classified or not.

In 2012, Bhatt and People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) had filed a Public Interest Litigation seeking access to riots-related intelligence records from Gujarat government.
