The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Association of Victims of Uphaar Tragedy (AVUT) had sought review of the Apex Court verdict, delivered on August 19, 2015, sending Ansal brothers to two years of rigorous jail term if they fail to pay Rs. 30 crore each within three months. The convicts have already paid the fine.
A three-judge bench of justices Ranjan Gogoi, Kurian Joseph and Adarsh Kumar Goel, which had reserved the judgement on the review pleas after hearing lengthy arguments, advanced by counsel for CBI, AVUT and Ansal brothers pronounced the verdict today.
