Zakia Jaffri, the widow of former Congress MP Ehsan Jaffri who was killed in the massacre along with 69 others during the Gujarat riots on February 28, 2002, had moved the application for a stay on the proceedings.
On September 12, the Supreme Court, had refused to pass any order on an application filed by Zakia Jafri alleging inaction on the part of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi during the riots.
The Supreme Court had referred the matter to the magistrate concerned in Ahmedabad for a decision.
Zakia has alleged that Modi and 62 top Gujarat government officials deliberately refused to take action to contain riots, triggered by the February 27, 2002 Sabarmati Express train burning near Godhra station in which 59 karsewaks were killed.
