The Gujarat government had appointed Justice G T Nanavati, retired judge of Supreme Court, as the chairman of the inquiry commission on May 21, 2002. Nanavati commission was also entrusted with the task of looking into the role of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, State bureaucrats and senior police officials during the communal violence which had rocked the state in the aftermath of Godhra incident.
