The judgement in the Naroda Patiya case in which 97 people of a minority community were killed during post-Godhra riots in 2002 is likely to be pronounced tomorrow by a special trial court.

The key accused in the case include former Minister in Narendra Modi government and MLA from Naroda constituency Maya Kodnani, ex-VHP leader Babu Bajrangi, local BJP leaders Bipin Panchal, Kishan Korani, Ashok Sindhi and advocate Raju Chaumal. Additional Principal Judge Jyotsna Yagnik, presiding over the trial, had deferred the pronouncement on June 30 and fixed tomorrow's date for the verdict against the 61 accused.

The incident had taken place a day after the Godhra train burning incident on February 27, 2002.
