NEW DELHI, AUG. 10. The Delhi High Court today allowed a plea by counsel for Sushil Ansal and Gopal Ansal, chairman and managing director respectively of the Ansal Group of Industries here, to file replies to an application by the Association of Victims of Uphaar Tragedy (AVUT) seeking recall of an order by the Delhi District Judge dismissing a record-keeper of the lower court where the trial of the Uphaar cinema fire tragedy case is going on. The then District Judge, J.P. Singh, had dismissed the judicial personnel of the court of the Additional Sessions Judge, Mamata Sehagal, conducting trial of the case, for tampering with certain papers of the case file pertaining to the two Ansals and H.S. Panwar, a retired Delhi Fire Brigade officer. The three along with the other accused are facing trial in the case in which 59 people were killed here on June 13, 1997. Justice B.N. Chaturvedi asked the three to file replies to the petition within four weeks and posted the matter for October 26. Mr. Singh had dismissed the record-keeper on a finding by the Additional Sessions Judge, S.C. Malik, who had held the personnel guilty of tampering with the papers. In the fresh petition in the High Court, the Association alleged that the record-keeper had been made a scapegoat as the real culprits were the above-mentioned accused persons at whose instance he had committed the offence. Therefore, the dismissal order against him should be withdrawn, counsel for AVUT urged. The Association has also filed a revision petition in the High Court seeking quashing of an order by Ms. Sehagal in which she had dismissed a petition seeking cancellation of bail of the two Ansals for allegedly promoting the record-keeper to remove the papers from the case file for a favour.
