Supreme Court's Verdict on 1996 Lajpat Nagar Bomb Blast - Four Convicts Get Life Imprisonment

The Supreme Court of India on Thursday upheld the conviction of two accused in the 1996 Lajpat Nagar bomb blast case and sentenced them to life imprisonment without remission. The convictions of two other former death row convicts who were discharged by the Delhi High Court were also restored and they were awarded life sentences extending to the rest of their natural lives. A bench of Justices BR Gavai, Vikram Nath, and Sanjay Karol was hearing the appeals preferred by Mohammed Naushad and Javed Ahmed Khan against their conviction and sentence, as well the special leave petitions by the State challenging the Delhi High Court's decision to commute Naushad's death sentence - awarded by a local court in Delhi - to that of life imprisonment, and acquit two death row convicts Mirza Nissar Hussain and Mohammed Ali Bhatt. This batch of appeals has been pending before the apex court for over a decade. #livelaw #bomblast #bombing #blast #delhi #lajpatnagar #market #lajpatnagarcentralmarket #1996 #terrorism #terrorist #jkif #jammuandkashmir #dawoodibrahim #lifeimprisonment #death #deathpenality #uapa #pakistan #delhihighcourt #supremecourtofindia #apoorvapandita #legalawareness #legalupdates #legalnews LiveLaw brings you the latest legal news and updates from India and beyond.
