The plea has said &#8220;his body and health are more brittle than that of his elder brother&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It has said that Gopal&#8217;s case should be treated &#8220;at par with that of his brother, accused number one Sushil Ansal upon taking on record the medical record enclosed. The petitioner at present seeks only one relief, which his brother got without being called upon to prove anything.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the petitioner had known that he had to establish that he too is suffering the kind of physical ailment for which the sentence already undergone has been found sufficient punishment, he would have had no difficulty in proving that his body and health are more brittle than that of his elder brother.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court today said the appeal filed by real estate baron Gopal Ansal, who has been directed to serve one-year jail term in the 1997 Uphaar fire tragedy case, would be heard on Wednesday.
