Gujarat's Additional Advocate General Tushar Mehta told the bench that the state government was not taking adverserial stand in the case. He said six out of the nine cases investigated by the SIT have resulted in conviction.
Senior advocate Raju Ramachandran, who was assisting the court as amicus curaie in the matter, said the widow was entitled for entire material sought by her.
The apex court on September 12, 2011 had passed the order relating to supply of documents to Zakia.
It had also asked the SIT, which probed the riot cases including the Ahmedabad Gulburg Housing Society massacre case in which former Congress MP Jafri had been killed, to forward its final report to the local court.
Zakia has filed the petition challenging the trial court's order rejecting her plea for supply of some documents relating to the investigation in the case including the probe report filed by Malhotra.
She was seeking the documents to file a protest petition against the SIT's closure report in the case.
Zakia contended that the court's refusal to allow her access the documents pertaining to the investigation by the SIT into the case was coming in the way of her filing the protest petition against the closure report.
The court was hearing Zakia's appeal against July 16, 2012 order of the trial court, which had rejected her demand for preliminary report filed by Malhotra in the Supreme Court after the inquiry into her complaint against Modi and others with regard to 2002 riots.
