Shrama is facing Modi ire in connection with 2002 riots probe, with authorities issuing a show cause notice to him asking why he should not be charge sheeted for giving CDs of call records during the violence to various agencies including SIT.
Sharma, a DIG rank officer, Thursday filed a petition in Gujarat High Court challenging the state government’s decision of not providing him the grounds on which he was served the show cause notice on February 5 over the CD containing call records during the riots.
The petition was today mentioned before Justice Abhilasha Kumari who has posted it for Friday.
The state government might contemplate taking action against Sharma after the notice period ends Thursday.
Sharma, who was posted in Ahmedabad during the 2002 post-Godhra riots, had given CDs containing phone call records of the 2002 riots to various agencies including Nanavati Commission and the SIT.
Sharma had also filed an application under the right to information (RTI) act seeking details of the grounds on which the notice was served to him.
Sharma was SP of Bhaw Nagar during 2002 riots and he did not allow any violence in his jurisdiction. He was later transferred to control room in Ahmadabad.
