The Nanavati Commission of Inquiry probing the 2002 post-Godhra riots is likely to get a brief extension in view of Justice (retd.) G.T. Nanavati’s travel plan. The Commission’s term is set to expire on August 31.

“Some small extension may be there due to a foreign trip of [Justice] Nanavati,” S.K. Nanda, Additional Chief Secretary, Home, told The Hindu .

However, Commission secretary C.G. Patel said Justice Nanavati had so far not given any intimation of whether he was going to travel out of the country. In July, the panel — appointed by the Gujarat government in 2002 in the aftermath of the riots — was given a two-month extension till August-end.
