The court was hearing a PIL filed by an NGO Act Now For Harmony and Democracy seeking a judicial inquiry into the September 19, 2008, encounter in which two suspected terrorists, allegedly involved in the Delhi serial blasts, and police inspector Mohan Chand Sharma were killed.
The incident took place a week after serial blasts rocked the national capital killing 26 people and injuring 13 others.
Raising doubts over the police version of the incident, advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the petitioner, said "four separate inquiries were conducted by independent non-government organisations and all of them have raised doubts on the police version in the case."
