Lucknow, May 21: In a major relief to L K Advani and 20 others in the Babri Masjid demolition case, the Allahabad High Court rejected CBI's petition to revive criminal conspiracy charges against them.

However, the case against them for inflammatory and provocative speeches will continue at Rae Bareli.

In his 44-page judgement, Justice Alok Kumar Singh of the Lucknow bench of the High Court said there was no merit in CBI's revision petition challenging the May 4, 2001 order of the special court which directed dropping of criminal conspiracy charge against BJP leaders Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, besides Uma Bharti, former UP Chief Minister Kalyan Singh and others.

There are two sets of cases - one against Advani and others who were on the dias at Ram Katha Kunj in Ayodhya on December 6, 1992 when the Babri Masjid was demolished.
