On Thursday, the High Court of Gujarat told a litigant to approach the Magisterial Court concerned when his lawyer complained that the State Govt had not taken any action against the directors of Ajanta Manufacturing Co Ltd of Oreva Group in relation to the collapse of the Morbi suspension bridge.

During the hearing, the advocate, K R Koshti, complained that the State Govt has taken action against labourers & security guards but not against the people responsible for the tragedy. He sought the court’s directions to the home ministry in this regard.

The chief justice advised the lawyer that if he wanted to hold a person for criminal liability, he would not want any opinion from the court on the issue. “You will be inviting unnecessary problems. There will be so many criminal prosecutions, we don’t know,” the CJ said.
