Sanjiv Bhatt moves Gujarat HC against framing of charges in 1990 custodial torture case

Dismissed IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt, serving a life sentence, has approached the Gujarat High Court challenging a Jamnagar court’s order to frame charges in a 1990 custodial torture case. The sessions court quashed a previous discharge order, directing the JMFC to frame charges against Bhatt and two subordinates. The judge refused a stay, citing the case’s long duration.
