The Ansal brothers, Sushil and Gopal, today filed an appeal against a Delhi High Court judgement upholding their conviction in the Uphaar fire tragedy which claimed 59 lives in 1997.


A bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan fixed January 23 to hear their petitions.


The High Court had upheld their conviction in the trial court but had reduced their sentence from two years to one.
