Just in: Charges to be framed shortly against accused in Babri trial, their discharge petition has been rejected. The accused had asked to be discharged from the case. The court said the trial has to be heard without 'unnecessary adjournments and delays' on a day-to-day basis.

A special CBI court on Tuesday granted bail to BJP veteran leaders Lal Krishna Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, Uma Bharti and the other nine accused in the Babri Masjid demolition case.

According to reports, all the 12 accused have been granted bail on personal bond of Rs 20,000.

"They have been granted bail by signing bonds of Rs. 20,000. We have submitted discharge application. If the court rejects it, then charges will be framed," said lawyer of accused Prashant Atal.

The court had also asked BJP leader Vinay Katiyar, VHP's Vishnu Hari Dalmia and Sadhvi Ritambara to present themselves before the court in person.

While directing the accused to present themselves in person, the judge had said no application for adjournment or exemption from personal appearance shall be entertained.
