They were later released on bail, the officials said, adding that the other accused had obtained anticipatory bail.Recording the submission, the bench asked the deputy superintendent of police whether it was true that a temple was demolished. As the DSP answered in the affirmative, the bench ordered authorities to seal the complex immediately.Counsel for petitioner submitted that the court should permit him to move a separate plea to direct the authorities to reconstruct the temple. Noting that such a direction could be passed in the present plea, the bench adjourned the plea to Friday for further hearing.
