Setalvad was booked in 2006 for digging graves and exhuming 28 bodies of the 2002 Gujarat riots victims and creating a "media sensation" by displaying the same to the media.
The Gujarat High Court Wednesday refused to grant an urgent hearing to rights' activist Teesta Setalvad, who has sought to quash the case lodged against her for alleged evidence fabrication in relation to Godhra riots.
The rights' activist had moved the High Court earlier this week, to quash the complaint filed against her for allegedly fabricating evidence pertaining to the Godhra riots to implicate then Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has lodged a case against Teesta for allegedly fabricating documents to implicate higher functionaries of the then Gujarat government in the 2002 Godhra riots case.
In a 127-page ruling, Justice Nirzar Desai said that it the activist is enlarged on bail, it will deepen and widen communal polarisation in the country.
