Supreme Court on Friday appointed senior advocate and former additional solicitor general Amrender Sharan as amicus curiae to assist the court in a plea seeking to reopen of investigation into the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi case.
While hearing the matter, the court initially was of the view that & quot nothing can be done in law& quot in the case which has been decided long ago.
However, it later told Amrender Sharan that its observation was not binding on him to make an assessment of the matter. The next hearing is posted on October 30.
The petition filed by Mumbai-based Dr Pankaj Phadnis, a researcher and a trustee of Abhinav Bharat, has sought to reopen the investigation on several grounds, claiming it was one of the biggest cover-ups in history.
Mahatma Gandhi the father of the nation was shot dead on January 30, 1948 at point blank range in New Delhi by Nathuram Vinayak Godse.
