The leaders were to appear on May 25 and 26, but all the 12 accused however sought exemption. Then, the court called all of them on May 30 and cautioned them that no further exemption would be allowed.

After the demolition of Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992, all the accused were named in the FIR filed, for allegedly instigating the mob and conspiracy behind the razing of the disputed structure. However, in 2001, a CBI court dropped the conspiracy charges, and the judgment was upheld in 2010 by the Allahabad High Court.

The CBI Court, hence is in a hurry to frame the charges and begin daily trial in compliance of the SC direction to end the trial in two years.

Special Judge SK Yadav, directing the accused to appear in the court on May 30 for framing of charges, had cautioned the above accused that no further exemption or adjournment from personal appearance would be granted.
