In its report, the SIT had sought judicial permission to initiate action against six people, including Sowjanya Justice Campaign activist Mahesh Shetty Thimarody. The SIT had also reportedly urged the court not to disclose the information contained in the report.
Jayant had earlier filed a plea before the Belthangady court seeking a copy of the SIT report. After the plea was rejected, senior advocate Dorairaju from Bengaluru argued on Jayant’s behalf before the court. Following this, the court agreed on Friday to provide Jayant with copies of certain portions of the report.
According to sources, the court has handed Jayant only the copies of statements made by him and others before the court. Other confidential material collected by the SIT, as well as statements recorded by the court from the primary accused, Chinnayya, have been withheld.
