While giving its ruling, a bench of Justices Arijit Pasayat and Asok Kumar Ganguly also ordered the establishment of six special fast track courts in Gujarat itself for trial of the 2002 riot cases.

The court said the appointment of special public prosecutors by the state government to conduct the trial would be done in consultation with a special probe panel headed by former Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) director R.K. Raghavan.
