The special court designated to hear cases under the National Investigation Agency (NIA) act, had last week dismissed Purohit's application challenging the sanction to prosecute him under the provisions of the UAPA.

It had also clarified that it would frame charges against all the accused including Purohit under the UAPA on October 26.
