Over 120 witnesses have been examined in the case. The conspirators are accused of helping Pakistani hijackers procured fake passports and took weapons aboard the plan.
The Indian Airlines flight IC-814 from Kathmandu with 180 people on board was hijacked on Dec 24, 1999.
Maulana Masood, one of the militants let off by India in exchange for the lives of those on board, has grown with his group the Jaish e Mohammed.
But none of the main hijackers of flight IC 814 have ever been caught. The five main accused were given safe passage and two others have been missing.
