The Delhi High Court Thursday said it will hear the Uphaar cinema fire tragedy appeal on a day-to-day basis from Monday.

Justice Ravinder Bhat will take up the case, in which real estate tycoons Sushil and Gopal Ansals have been sent to two years of rigorous imprisonment.

The Ansal brothers are lodged in the Tihar jail here after the apex court cancelled their bail.

The defence has begun the argument for Sushil Ansal.

The apex court, in its Sep 10 order cancelling the bail of the Ansal brothers and four others, asked the Delhi high court chief justice to form an 'appropriate' bench for the appeal proceedings.

A trial court Nov 20, 2007 convicted the Ansal brothers along with three others under Section 304-A Indian Penal Code (IPC) (causing death due to rash and negligent act) and sentenced them to two years imprisonment.

Seven others including Ajit Chowdhary and Nirmal Chopra, managers of the theatre, were convicted under Section 304 IPC (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and sentenced to seven years imprisonment.

Others convicted under Section 304 were -- Radha Krishan Sharma, Manmohan Unniyal (cinema's gatekeeper), and Brij Mohan Satija, A.K. Gera and Bir Singh (all Delhi Vidyut Board officials).
