Veteran BJP leaders LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, who are among the accused in the Babri masjid demolition case, are likely to seek exemption from personal appearance when a special CBI court announces its verdict on Wednesday. The law says all accused persons have to be physically present in the court on the day of verdict. But some of the 32 accused – including Advani and Joshi -- may ask the court to allow them to appear via video conference, citing their advanced age and the coronavirus pandemic, the Hindustan Times has reported quoting their lawyer. Another accused Uma Bharati is admitted in AIIMS after testing positive for Covid-19.
