Jaunpur, Mar 21 (UNI) A court here today fixed March 26 as the next date of hearing in the Patna-New Delhi Shramjivi Express blast case.

The bomb blast on July 28, 2005 near Singramau railway station, Jaunpur had killed 14 passengers and wounded 90 others.

All three prime accused Obaid-ur-Rehman, Hilal-ud-din and Nafikul were produced before the additional district and sessions judge (III) under tight security, who extended their judicial custody till the next date of hearing.

Meanwhile, no witness appeared for testimony in the case.
