A special CBI court will hear the 1992 Ayodhya disputed structure demolition cases, including the one against BJP leaders L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti today.
The Supreme Court had last month directed that Advani, Joshi, Bharti and others will face trial on conspiracy charges and had transferred their case from Raebareli to Lucknow where
another case was on in the matter.
The court had yesterday put off the hearing in the other case as Satish Pradhan, one of the six accused, did not appear before it.
On May 20, the special CBI court began day-to-day hearing in the politically sensitive case and granted bail to the five VHP leaders named as accused.
The Supreme Court had on April 19 directed the special court to start proceedings in the matter within a month and deliver its verdict within two years.
