's top court on Monday said that it won't accept dropping of charges against senior BJP leader LK Advani and others in the Babri Masjid demolition case.
The court also expressed concern over the delay in trial and favoured a joint trial of the accused.
The court was hearing a petition opposing dropping of criminal conspiracy charges in the Babri demolition case.
There are two cases in the Babri demolition -- one is against LK Advani and others who were on the dais at Ram Katha Kunj on December 6, 1992 when the demolition happened and the second case is against thousands of "karsevaks" (volunteers) who were in and around the structure.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), had challenged the May 21, 2010 verdict of the high court which upheld a special CBI court verdict.
The special CBI court had ordered dropping of charges against Advani, Kalyan SIngh, Uma Bharti, Vinay Katiyar and Murli Manohar Joshi.
