New Delhi, 25 July 2014: The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected the application of Mumbai Crime Branch seeking cancellation of the bail granted by a special POTA court to one of the Mumbai 2003 terror blast accused three years ago.
Dr. Abdul Waheed Abdul Jabbar was released on bail by the special Prevention of Terrorist Activities Act court in 2011 after eight years of incarceration in jail in the case of terror blasts that happened in three areas of Mumbai – Mulund, Vile Parley and Mumbai Central in 2002-2003. The court had granted bail after the prosecution could not establish his role in the blasts.
Gulzar Azmi, head of the legal cell of Jamiat Ulema which is providing free legal aid to terror accused Muslim youths, held a press conference in Mumbai on Thursday and informed about the SC order.
He said the apex court bench of Justices Ranjan Gogoi and YM Eqbal rejected the plea of the Mumbai Crime Branch saying it could not establish that the accused misused the bail granted by the POTA court or violated the bail conditions.
