Raghavan, is investigating 10 cases including the Godhra train burning and subsequent riots and submitted the report before a three-judge bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat, P Sathasivam and Aftab Alam.
The bench, in a brief hearing on Monday, said the confidential report would not be given to any party involved in the matter. The copy of the main report is only allowed to be given to Gujarat government and senior advocate Harish Salve who is assisting the court as an amicus curiae in the matter.
