<p>The court Thursday is likely to hear a petition by Narmada Bai, mother of Prajapati, who was allegedly gunned down by police as he was believed to be a key witness in the 2005 abduction and killing of Sheikh.<br /><br />The apex court bench of Justice P. Sathasivam and Justice B.S. Chauhan will take up her petition seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the killing of her son in an alleged staged shootout Dec 26, 2006.<br /><br />The CBI too has told the apex court that the killings of Sheikh and Prajapti were inter-linked and the investigation into the Prajapati case too should be handed over to it. <br />According to the CBI, the needle of suspicion pointed to the involvement of former Gujarat minister of state for home affairs Amit Shah. <br /><br />The petitioner sought the shifting of the case to another bench but the plea was opposed by the Gujarat government. <br /><br />The Amar Singh tapes case, which started with his petition alleging political vendetta by United Progressive Alliance-I, government, has snowballed into a major question of national security and the accountability of private telecom companies.<br /><br />The concern of the apex court found expression when Justice G.S. Singhvi and Justice Asok Kumar Ganguly described the situation “extremely dangerous". “Unwittingly it is becoming a larger issue in public domain,” the court said. <br /><br />On Monday, senior counsel C.A. Sundaram will argue on behalf of the telecom service provider involved. He will answer questions related to the failure of the company’s officers in distinguishing a fake communication from a genuine one. The fake communication formed the basis of tapping the politician's phone. <br /><br />The court took exception to the manner in which spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in the fake communication were not taken cognizance of by officials of the service provider.</p>
