The Supreme Court has granted bail to two convicts in the case so far. Seven other bail pleas are pending adjudication in the matter.
The Supreme Court on Friday said it will dispose of the bail pleas of several convicts serving life imprisonment in the 2002 Godhra train burning case on April 10.
A bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud took note of the submissions of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Gujarat government, that he has to verify certain factual details with regard to some convicts.
The bench, also comprising justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala, considered the submissions of the law officer and adjourned the hearing to April 10, and said it will "dispose of" the pending bail pleas of the convicts on that day.
The bench, meanwhile, extended the bail granted to one of the convicts earlier on the ground that his wife was suffering from cancer.
