The court ruled that there was no evidence against the accused.
A Hindu mob apparently burnt the three British Muslims in riots sparked after 60 Hindus were killed in a train fire.
More than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed in the riots. Rights groups say the Gujarat government has failed to bring justice for the victims.
The three Britons - Saeed and Shakil Dawood and Mohammad Aswat - were murdered near Prantij town of Gujarat's Sabarkantha district.
The rioters stopped their car at a road block when they were returning to Gujarat after a visit to Jaipur.
Convictions
Mr Modi, who was the chief minister of Gujarat at the time, was blamed for not doing enough to stop the riots - a charge he has always denied.
US-based monitoring group Human Rights Watch
accused the Gujarat authorities last week of harassing rights activists rather than pursuing justice for the victims.
Some culprits have been convicted over the riots.
