New Delhi, Aug 18: A petition was today filed in the Supreme Court challenging the CBI action of dropping conspiracy charges against Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani, HRD minister M M Joshi and other BJP leaders in the Ayodhya demolition case pending trial at Rae Bareilly. The petition is likely to be listed for hearing tomorrow, the petitioner Advocate Wajahat Anasari said.

On August 7, Mohd Aslam Bhure had moved an application in the apex court seeking initiation of action under Section 218 of IPC against CBI for filing allegedly "incorrect, truncated and diluted" chargesheet and to initiate contempt proceedings against the agency for "distorting and distracting" the judicial process.

The application also sought an early hearing of his petition seeking review of the apex court decision allowing Uttar Pradesh govermnment to transfer the Ayodhya demolition case against Advani and others from Lucknow to Rai Bareilly.
Aslam Bhure has filed the review petition on the apex court order of November 29 last year which was admitted on March 28 this year.
