Special judge AR Patel will hear the arguments of the defence on Tuesday, special public prosecutor Sudhir Brahmbhatt said.
Plotters of the 2008 Ahmedabad serial bomb blasts had also planned to kill then-Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi besides creating mayhem, one of the accused convicted for the bombings by a special court in Ahmedabad had admitted before the court in the past, the prosecution said on Friday.
Ketan Patel is among four Patel quota stir leaders who have been charged with sedition along with Hardik.
Public prosecutor Sudhir Brahmbhatt opposed the plea, alleging that Setalvad hadn't cooperated with the probe.
A special court in Ahmedabad on Friday awarded death sentence to 38 convicts in the 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts case, which had claimed 56 lives and left over 200 injured.
