The Supreme Court had on April 19 directed that Advani, Uma Bharti and Joshi will face trial on conspiracy charges. It had also transferred their case from Raebareli to Lucknow. 
Besides the BJP three leaders, the conspiracy charge would now be invoked against BJP MP Vinay Katiar, Sadhvi Ritambara and Vishnu Hari Dalmia, who were being tried at Raebareli.
