The apex court had on April 28 rejected Purohit's plea for urgent hearing, saying the petition will come up in regular course.
Sadhvi Pragya and 44-year-old Purohit were arrested in 2008.The High Court had said that prima facie no case was made out against Pragya and asked her to furnish a cash surety of Rs five lakh and surrender her passport to the NIA.
Referring to the report filed by the NIA, the HC had said, "Purohit was the one who prepared a separate 'Constitution' for 'Hindu Rashtra' with a separate saffron colour flag. He also discussed about taking revenge for the atrocities committed by the Muslims on Hindus."
The HC had refused to accept Purohit's contention that he had attended the meetings as part of a "covert military intelligence operation."
The court pointed out the statements of the witnesses that it was Purohit who said their right-wing group Abhinav Bharat should not be just a political party but should work as an organisation of extremists, having the capacity to eliminate persons opposing the same.
