The CBI on Thursday filed the final status report in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case after completion of investigation.

The status report was filed in a sealed cover before a bench of Justices Aftab Alam and R.M. Lodha.

The bench said that it has decided to hear the CBI’s plea seeking cancellation of bail granted to former Gujarat minister Amit Shah, who has been made an accused in the case.

The court will hear the matter again on December 14.

The CBI has challenged the bail granted to Shah by the Gujarat High Court.

Sheikh, an alleged gangster, was killed in November 2005 by Gujarat Police which had claimed that he was planning to kill Chief Minister Narendra Modi. The policemen are alleged to have subsequently killed his wife Kauser Bi and another accomplice Tulsiram Prajapati as they were said to have been eyewitnesses to the killing.
