A Shiv Sena [ Images ] activist on Tuesday filed a petition in the Lucknow [ Images ] bench of Allahabad High Court seeking punishment for all the accused in the Babri Masjid [ Images ] demolition case, including Bharatiya Janata Party [ Images ] president L K Advani [ Images ], for "disowning the act".

Justice Shailendra Saxena posted the petition, which also impleads the Union of India [ Images ], the Central Bureau of Investigation and Uttar Pradesh [ Images ] as opposite parties, for hearing on Wednesday.

The petitioner, Bharat Nath Shukla, sought a "thorough inquiry, proper trial and punishment for the accused persons for not carrying out the demolition, but for disowning their act and misguiding the people in general".
