After 09 Years, a Special Court in Allahabad is ready to deliver its judgment today on Godhra Train Burning case 2002. The incident took place in the S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express on February 27, 2002. Fifty-nine people, mostly Kar Sewaks returning from Ayodhya, were killed in the incident.
The incident will took place at Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Central Jail, where the trial was held.
A mob of around 1,000 people had targeted the S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express at the Godhra station in Gujarat on that February day in 2002.
The death of the 59 people triggered the worst communal riots in the history of Independent India.
Close to 1,200 people, mostly Muslims, were killed in these riots in Gujarat.
Designated Judge PR Patel, who completed hearing the arguments of the prosecution and the defence in September last year, will pronounce judgement in the sensitive case today.
After completion of the hearing last September, the verdict could not be given as there was a Supreme Court stay on it. This stay was lifted on October 26, 2010.
