“We have accepted the prayers that electronic records must be taken into consideration,” a bench made up of Chief Justice Uday Umesh Lalit and Justice Bela M Trivedi said. His culpability is established. We deny the review petition and uphold the court’s position”.
The Red Fort attack on December 22, 2000 resulted in the deaths of three people, including two Army members.
