"Now the case to come up for clarifications, if any/order on charge on September 21," Additional sessions judge Neena Bansal Krishna said.
They have been named in the charge sheet for the offences punishable under sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 121-A (conspiring to commit certain offences against the state) of the IPC and under various provisions of the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
