A bench headed by Justice Arijit Pasayat said it was necessary to hold day-to-day trial considering the fact that seven years have passed.

The court took into consideration the report filed by Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by former CBI director R K Raghavan which probed the cases.

The court said the Chief Justice of Gujarat High Court will appoint expert lawyers in criminal trial as public prosecutors for the trial of cases.

The court said that the SIT will act as a nodal agency to decide as to which witnesses in the case should be given protection and relocated.

Noting that the SIT had submitted two reports giving the status of investigation, Raghavan said in some cases more arrests had been made.
