Modi, however, has been exempted from personal appearance.
SC's verdict came in despite Govt's appeal for putting off the hearing on account of polls.
SC on Wednesday began the hearing on the pleas seeking to make Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as a co-accused in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case on the basis of his alleged statement during an election rally justifying the act.
Additional Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam, who has been assisting the court as amicus curiae in the matter and senior advocate Dushyant Dave, appearing for Sohrabuddin's brother Rubabuddin Sheikh, pressed for issuing notice to Modi for his explanation on the alleged statement.
The ASG said the Chief Minister is accountable to the law and an explanation is called from him for his remarks.
"Nobody should have the courage to publicly speak about the case which is sub-judice and to give justification on it," he said.
The ASG further said in this situation, it is for the court to decide whether the investigation of the case can be handed over to the CBI for upholding the majesty of law.
Seconding the ASG's request for issuing a notice to Modi asking him to justify his consciousness, Dave, counsel for Rubabuddin who is another petitioner in the matter, said the Chief Minister's statement amounted to interference with the process of justice.
"The Chief Minister's statement was greatest and direct affront to the pending proceedings," he said.
Dave also questioned the entire investigation carried by the state police and expressed apprehension that due to the filing of weak charge sheet, the victim's family could not get justice.
He said the Chief Minister had gone eulogising the cold-blooded murder of Sohrabuddin in November, 2005.
Meanwhile, the ASG also placed in sealed cover affidavits of two persons, who claimed to having seen Tulsi Ram Prajapati in police custody a day before he was allegedly killed.
Prajapati was the third person apart from Sohrabuddin and his wife Kausar Bi in a Ahmedbad-bound bus and were later shot dead on November 26 2005 in a fake encounter by Gujarat's Anti-Terrorist Squad.

We know that Supreme court judges are appointed by President who was elected by congress and communists party. Our supreme court judges are working under influence of rulling islamic terroirsts and anti-hindu party. Why there is no notice on calling hindus terrorists and modi as merchant of death ?
Unfortunately Court actions are being seen as not above board due to varying yardsticks for personalities based on their affiliations.Supreme Court has to ensure that there is much more muck that has been allowed to pass earlier and let go many more scot free for much worse crimes. Modi's crime - praising some encounter - fake or otherwise is a matter of judicial review.
Communists openly abuse the courts in W.Bengal. Karunanidhi often talks about Brahmin judges. Sonia often tells the govt. to ignore court orders whenever it feel like doing it. SC never dares to issue contempt againt them but it finds it easy to issue such notices against BJP leaders all the time knowing very well it goes down well with the media. These judges are cowards. They too think it is acceptable to trash Hindu leaders. The whole system stinks and biased against Hindus because every one got to prove he or she is secular in this country without having to worry what secularism means.
SC what abt Sonia? Did she paid you a lot this time to keep ur lips close. She is the one who started. Is the SC scared of her.
Modi may be good to the investors in Gujarat but overall he is a blot. The law of the land is always supreme and SC should take proper action against shameless Modi. A good leader is the one who is intelligent, who has humility and who takes care of all of his people. Modi is not a good leader, he is a good dictator though.
We really need a good dictator. We dont need communal leaders like Sonia and manmohan who r working to keep terrorist safe in prisons.
The far most universally publicised "contempt of court" was the demolition of Babari Mosque.The rest are the residuals and extensions of religious immunity. Had court taken a "Justice delivered ",action after the demolition this Jinn would have been contained and the people had learnt the lessons for going insane on the name of religion and this day would 've not come.
SC pls send Mr Merchant of Death to Tihar
modi should be punished
Ohi,jihadi moralist and those hindu apologist who ape the pseuo moralist, get your facts in perpespective. Modi has never eluciated that contrevenes the subject matter, which is subjudice pending legal consideration. Before you take the moral highground and lecture to us on Freedom of speech and jihadi bigotry, read what Modi said again, in the context and do not twist,his retort out of context. Nowhere has he stated anything that could me construed as communal. Modi was defending his character that ws subject to extreme assassination and abuse,mud slinging and vulgar name calling. Every person under extreme provocation has right to deend himself. If it was Muslim buffoon, who would have ranted the way Modi did,you thugs would defend him with all your gusto.Do not try to fabricate lies and propaganda to defame Modi, if do you are bigger bigot and communal thig than Modi is. what Modi implied was this, a hardened terrorist and a criminalcan not have the same Loca standi, as a decent,law abiding, atx paying Hindu citizen. Such double standards are as common as they are depressing. Do not hold Modi hostage as to past ignorance. Muslims are not exactly holier than thou.The misguided S.C. has made a grave error of judegement, for which it will rue,in the days to come. There is leagl grounds or reasons, under which Modi can be found to be culpable.It is human right to defend himself, against all abuses and allegations, there is nothing contempt about this, on the contrary the Congress party who proved this issue by making uncouth and inappropriate remarks, are sitting pretty, with smug face. It is they who are the biggest culprit. It about time you hyocrits stop striking such highminded posture.
Oh pls, read history man, u r ignorant, just chk what he has done and what he has been doing all these yrs, selective butchering of a particular community. India is a democratic country, not allowed communalism at any form. This does not mean that anyone should promote minorityism. Both are dangerous
this is why india becomes a fertlie land for terrorists, tomorrow there will be mosques in the name of 'great afzal'
It was around a month before there was Poll in Times Of India asking public view about Indian judiciary and system,if they trust it or not.There were eight pages full of comments and I could find only two who were positive.None other had trust of faith in Indian judiciary/justice.All these courts,judges and Atorneys are opportunits and serve the cause of immidiate bosses/ruling Parties.In a democracy everyone has the right to express views and say what and how he/she feels.Its not only CM Modi accountable to the Law but Sonia and Digvijay too.They must be issued notices for contempt and propagating against Modi and his Govt with incendiary speeches and allegations.Mr.ASG says "Nobody should have the courage" which is foolish.Is he threatening Modi or someone else?Why can't one speak publicaly about cases which are sub-judice?Is there any definte clause or Law under constitution which gives freedom of speech? If one feels he/she has every right to comment,judge/assess and speak openly/publicaly.Moreover what makes the Apex court to be bias and prejudice?Why the court didn't send notice to Sonia and Digvijay Singh who are asked for explanations for their indisciplined behaviour through which they have not only insulted the majority of the Nation,Hindus,but also gone into an act of provocation that could result into unrest and conflict among the communities.Shame to ASG and his alikes.
niether sonia nor digvijay said any thing which voilates or preach hatred against any community , freedom of speach never means giving or influencing the beuruecracy or police to carry out some one political agenda buy killing and rapes..seems mr sharma advocates such kind of acts .but i do endorse what he said about judiciary , its really not positive signals. when bjp was in power many cases were being negelcted what it appears to be inflence of party now same cases are being opened in congress time. but lets not accuse ASG what he has done is his duty other was there will be nothing but jungle raj ..
The case against Mr. Modi is politically motivated and instigated by the by the corrupt politicians, criminals, contract killers and agents of Pakistan. Those activated this litigation against Mr.Modi has one objective i.e. to destroy democracy, to fuel communal frenzy, to create mayhem throughout the country and in the end to wipe out the Hindus and the Secular Indian Republic from the map.
its really amazing mr. madhvan seems not having any shame to advocate acts of killing and rapes and burning womens. if he is so fond please why dont start from your home by urself.u can be glorified as nationalist . worrior agaisnt pakistan , noble person and saviour of democracy.
Rahul People like Mahadevan, once bitten by the Modi bug, are permanently deranged
Justifying cowardous fake encounder is shameful act.This may happen to anybody those who are in hit list of NARENDRABAI The another fake encounter victim probably would be KESHUBAI or SURESHBAI Who knows?Such barbarious justification should be condemned whether NARENDRABAI OR SONIABEN whoevermay be
You have correctly identified the thud as a 'bhai'. Thank you for telling us that criminal Modi is a 'bhai'. Everybody knew it but nobdy coud say it so openly as you did. Salute to thug NARENDRABHAI.
I HAVE LOST FAITH FROM SC TOTALLY.....
I would like to bring one more HORONDOUS verdict of SC 20 years back... In Ahmedabad, 6-7 muslims guys had burnt 11 hindus locking them in their house only... Gujarat HC gave them DEATH PENALTY based upon all proofs.. SHOCKINGLY SC's Chief justice at that time Mr. Ahmedi Akbar ( more shockingly , he was also from Ahmedabad ) give clean chitto all 11 muslims.... One more such verict... Gujarat is used to anti Gujarat stance from SC...
WHY THIS CONTEMPT OF COURT IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO MODI? THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RAISE BY SONIA
Along with Media, now SC has also became part of a NEXUS of ANTI MODI DRIVE... Come what may.... We will now VOTE for Mr. Modi with 90 % voting %.... as our reply to SC' notice..... JETAGA GUJARAT....
Irony, while whole western world chasing Islamic terrorists, in India Cong defending them. Time to ban communal Cong for good.
