New Delhi, Feb 1: The Supreme Court today told relatives of the victims of the 2002 Gujarat communal riots to approach the trial court for getting the bodies of eight victims who have been identified through DNA test. The dead bodies of eight victims were sent for DNA test after having been exhumed from the burial ground in Gujarat.

The petitions challenging Gujarat High Court's order dismissing the petitions seeking CBI inquiry into the alleged killings are already pending in the apex court. A bench comprising Justices B N Agarwal and G S Singhvi gave the ruling after hearing counsel for the petitioner and told them to have faith in state judiciary.
