On Wednesday, the court started dictating the judgment after the prosecution and the defence concluded their arguments on Tuesday in the case, four months after the court began hearing the appeals.

The incident relates to the carnage back in March 1, 2002, in the aftermath of the riots triggered by the burning of the Sabarmati Express in Godhra, when 14 persons were killed after a mob attacked the Best Bakery in the Hanuman Tekri area of Vadodara. The Best Bakery incident was the first riot-related case to be moved out of Gujarat.
