SC notice to Advani |
The Supreme Court on March 31 sought the responses of senior BJP leaders L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, Union Minister Uma Bharti and 16 others on a fresh plea against a 2010 order of the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court dropping criminal conspiracy charge against them in the Babri mosque demolition case. A bench of Chief Justice H L Dattu and Justice Arun Mishra issued notices to the BJP and other religious leaders on a fresh plea filed by Haji Mahboob Ahmad, one of the petitioners in the civil suit relating to the case. The court also granted four weeks time for the CBI, which had also moved the apex court against dropping of criminal conspiracy charge against the leaders, to file a fresh affidavit to explain the delay in filing the appeal before it.
