The Supreme Court will today hear the plea of real estate baron Gopal Ansal seeking extension of time to surrender for serving one-year jail term in the 1997 Uphaar fire tragedy case. The court had, last month, asked Gopal to surrender within four weeks and the time is expiring today.<br/><br/>Senior advocate Ram Jethmalani, representing the real estate baron, said Gopal will not be available today and tomorrow as he has to go to Pune for a teaching assignment. He said, the bench can fix Gopal's appeal for hearing immediately after the reopening of the apex court post Holi vacation on the 20th of this month.<br/><br/>Although it listed the matter for today, the court said, it is very unlikely that the bench will extend the time to surrender.<br/><br/>The court had, last month, granted relief to Sushil Ansal considering his advanced age-related complications by awarding him jail term already undergone and asked his younger brother Gopal to surrender in four weeks to serve the remaining jail term.<br/>
