there is no constitutional point that says you must resign unless you are convicted sucessfully......charging with a crime is not the same as conviction.....
and even the charges against him are politically motivated.....
The role of retired IPS officer O P Mathur, who was in-charge of the Gujarat CID when it was probing the Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case, is under the scanner because CBI officials said all references to then Minister Amit Shah had been deleted from a compact disc the CID handed to the agency after the case was transferred.
Officials said Gujarat Additional Director General (Crime) Rajnish Rai turned in a copy of the original version of the CD and this helped the CBI establish that Shah made calls to senior IPS officers during the Sohrabuddin encounter. Mathur, the officials said, might be booked by the CBI for destruction of evidence, even arrested.
Mathur was ADGP and looking after the state CID (Crime) when Rajnish Rai, then DIG, arrested three IPS officers, D G Vanzara and Rajkumar Pandian and Dinesh M N, in connection with the encounter.
Rai made a CD of conversations between Vanzara and senior police officers and other evidences at the time of the encounter and handed it to Mathur. The CD handed to the CBI was minus references to Shah. But Rai later handed a copy which had conversations that showed Shah spoke to Vanzara and other officers.
Mathur and another retired officer G C Raigar have been called for questioning by the CBI. Mathur is presently the head of Raksha Shakti University set up recently by the state government.
The CBI today questioned Raigar for six hours at its office in the Old Sachivalaya in Gandhinagar. "I was called as a witness in the case, so I appeared before them," he told reporters.
CBI officials said that based on statements made by Raigar in the first two hours of questioning, the CBI gave an application in court to question Shah.
Mathur was asked to appear before the CBI by 4 pm but did not turn up. Officials said he had written to them saying he would appear this week.
When contacted, CBI DIG P Kandaswamy refused to comment on Mathur. "Investigations are still on. I cannot tell you at the moment who is going to be charged or arrested. About the CD and investigations, we have informed the court," Kandaswamy said.

So why delete the reference to Amit Shah if Amit Shah was acting in good faith and carrying out his duties diligently as Home Minister?
Looks like even the CBI is lying.
New Delhi: Former Gujarat Home Minister Amit Shah conspired with policemen to kill Tulsiram Prajapati, a witness to the Sohrabuddin fake encounter, CBI told the Supreme court on Wednesday.
Shah is also a close aide to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
The CBI has claimed that Shah had conspired with a section of Gujarat police officials to eliminate Prajapati in 2006.
The CBI told the Supreme Court this was because he was witness in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case and just prior to Prajapati's encounter death there were many phone calls between Shah and IPS official Rajkumar Pandian.
CBI has petitioned the Supreme court to merge both the Sohrabuddin and Prajapati encounter killngs and hand over the investigation to them.
Narmada Bai, the mother of the deceased, had sought transfer of the case to CBI on the ground that he was a key witness in Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter killing case which was transferred to the agency by the apex court on January 12, 2010.
CBI's senior counsel KTS Tulsi also supported the plea for transfer of the case to the agency on the ground that Tulsiram Prajapati's killing was an "integral part" of the Sohrabuddin killing.
While Sohrabuddin and Kasuer Bi were killed in a fake encounter by the Gujarat police in November 2005, Tulsiram Prajapati, it was alleged, was shot dead by the police in a similar encounter on December 27, 2006 to destroy all evidence.
