A bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul held that there was adequate material on record before the magisterial court to justify framing of charges against Ansals and others. It also directed the magisterial court to proceed with the trial in the case. In 2007, a trial court had convicted 12 people, including the Ansals, in the main case, which ended up in the Supreme Court. In March last year, the high court had allowed a plea of Delhi Police seeking transfer of revision petitions of the accused pending before a sessions court. The Ansal brothers, Malhotra and Singh had approached the sessions court challenging the order passed by a magisterial court framing charges against them in the case.
