India News: After a U-turn by the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi government on the death penalty for former minister Maya Kodnani and nine others, convicted in 2002 Naroda Patiya riot case, the SIT has decided to seek Supreme Court's guidance on the issue.

"Very soon, we are going to file an application before the special bench of the Supreme Court apprising it about the recent Gujarat government's decision to withdraw the sanction for filing appeal in the Naroda Patiya case," a top SIT official said.
