Ishrat Jahan case: PP Pandey’s plea dismissed, declared absconder

Ahemdabad: The Gujarat High Court on Monday rejected former Gujarat IPS officer PP Pandey’s plea to quash the FIR registered against him in Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case.

The High Court, while rejecting Pandey’s plea, also declared him an absconder in the 2004 fake encounter case of Ishrat Jahan and three others.

Earlier this month, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate of the special CBI court HS Khutwad had passed an order proclaiming Additional DGP (Crime) PP Pandey an absconder under section 82 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).




He was directed to appear before the court by July 31 to avoid further action.

Pruthvipal P Pandey, a 1982-batch IPS officer, has been made an accused in the fake encounter case for providing "so-called crucial intelligence inputs" to fellow policemen that Ishrat and three others were LeT operatives and were on a mission to assassinate Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

He was Joint Commissioner of Police of the city heading the Crime Branch when on June 15, 2004, Ishrat Jahan, Javed Shaikh alias Pranesh Pillai, Amjadali Akbarali Rana and Zeeshan Johar were killed in an encounter with the Gujarat police on the outskirts of Ahmedabad.Earlier this month, CBI filed an application before the special court demanding that Pandey be declared an absconder and initiation of action against him under section 82 of the CrPC on the ground that he was evading arrest despite a warrant issued by the court on May 2.

Pandey is the second Gujarat IPS officer, after GL Singhal, who has been named as an accused in the case.
