On Thursday, the Special Court for Ayodhya case set June 4 as the date for commencement of questioning in connection with the Babri Masjid demolition.
The bench of Judge SK Yadav, who is hearing the case, extended the date to June 4 after being told by the defense counsel that there had been difficulty in contacting the accused due to the ongoing nationwide lockdown.
The Judge has directed BJP leaders LK Advani, Uma Bharti, Ex-UP CM Kalyan Singh, Murli Manohar Joshi, among 32 others to appear for questioning beginning June 4.
In the case filed by the Central Bureau of investigation, 49 people had been named as accused, out of which 32 are alive while the rest have passed away.
Earlier this month, the Top Court had extended till Aug 31 the tenure of Judge SK Yadav, who is hearing the Babri Masjid demolition case, & directed him to complete the trial & deliver the judgement in the case by that time.
