ALL MUFFLERS CAN READ ABOUT THE TRUTH OF BABUBHAI BOKHIRIA • The opposition & sections of the media are routinely peddling lies that Babubhai Bokhiria remains in the cabinet inspite of being convicted. Nothing can be farther from the truth than this assumption. • The fact of the matter in Babubhai Bokhiria’s case is that his conviction has been stayed by a superior court. • Both his conviction and his sentence stay suspended. • The District Judge after taking into account the trial order has passed a detailed speaking order. • The District Judge has said that he is aware that a conviction should not be stayed unless it is a rare case. After detailed study of the case, the District Court Judge has come to the conclusion that this conviction should be stayed as it is a rare case. • The Supreme Court judgment which repealed section 8 (4) of the RP Act 1951 while allowing disqualification of convicted representatives, also observed that the same will not apply retrospectively. • So it would be unfair to question the wisdom of the Supreme Court & asking Babubhai Bokhiria to be removed from the Cabinet as legally his conviction has been stayed at present.
