AHMEDABAD, APRIL 30 .

The suit was filed at the Himmatnagar court, the district headquarters of Sabarkantha, where they were killed while on a visit. The case has been posted for May 6. The Gujarat High Court also issued notice to the CBI and the State Government on a petition filed by two police personnel allegedly involved in the Bilkis Banoo case.
