The court had also put a pre-condition on the lawyers of the prosecution and the defence that they would not make certain portions of the report public.  

Earlier, the CBI had argued before the court that revealing the IB report's content would threaten “national security”.

Sadiq Jamal, a resident of Bhavnagar, was killed in an alleged fake encounter by the Gujarat police in Ahmedabad on January 13, 2003.

The genuineness of the encounter became an issue after Mumbai-based former journalist Ketan Tirodkar filed an affidavit before a Mumbai court that he witnessed Jamal being handed over to the Gujarat police by Mumbai police ‘encounter specialist' cop Daya Nayak, a few days before the alleged fake encounter.
