Supreme Court refuses Sanjiv Bhatt’s plea to submit additional evidence in custodial death case

The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a plea by former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Sanjiv Bhatt to submit additional evidence to back his appeal pending in the Gujarat High Court against conviction in a 1990 custodial death case.

A Bench of Justices M.R. Shah and C.T. Ravikumar also rejected Mr. Bhatt’s plea seeking recusal of Justice Shah from hearing the matter.

Mr. Bhatt had contended that there was a reasonable apprehension of bias as Justice Shah, as High Court judge, had castigated the petitioner while hearing his plea linked to the same First Information Report (FIR).
