The bullet-proof jacket worn by slain Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squad chief Hemant Karkare during the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack (also known as 26/11) was not meant for protection from AK-47 bullets, Police told the Bombay High Court on march 31, reports Times of India. The order for such jackets was placed way back in 2001, when the 26/11-like situation was not anticipated, says an affidavit filed by Deputy Commissioner of Police Vijaysingh Jadhav. The jackets were meant for protection from 9-mm pistol and carbine, and "not for AK-47 rifle and 7.62 SLR", according to the affidavit. Similar jackets are still used even by the "military forces", Police said.

The Hindu reports that marking the end of the year-long November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack (also known as 26/11) trial, the special sessions court in Mumbai on March 31 announced May 3, 2010, as “the day of judgment.” Judge M.L. Tahaliyani gave the date after the lawyer for the third and last accused, Sabahuddin Ahmed, concluded his final arguments. On May 3, the court will give its verdict on the various charges against Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, and co-accused Fahim Ansari and Sabahuddin. The recording of the judgment will be done in April 2010. The trial, which began on April 15, 2009 had 191 hearings during which 653 witnesses were examined by the prosecution.

A special sessions court in Mumbai on May 3 pronounced Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant of the November 26, 2008 Mumbai terror attacks (also known as 26/11), guilty of waging war against India, after a 271-day trial, reports The Hindu. The 1,522-page judgment convicted Kasab of conspiring to wage war, along with nine other terrorists and 20 co-conspirators in Pakistan, and of murder and abetment to murder, among other offences. Among the 20 wanted accused indicted by the court are LeT Chief Muhammad Hafeez Saeed and other operatives Zaki-Ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah and Abu Hamza. The arguments for the quantum of sentence will begin on April 4 (today). Special sessions judge M.L. Tahaliyani at the Arthur Road jail court in Mumbai acquitted the other two accused, Indians, Fahim Ansari and Sabahuddin Ahmed, of “all the charges framed against them.” The two had been accused of making and conveying maps of target locations in Mumbai. The court said: “The preparations made for the attacks by Kasab and nine other attackers, and the co-conspirators, the training imparted to the gunmen, the arms and ammunition involved and the quantity of cartridges reached proved beyond reasonable doubt that this was not a simple case of murder but an offence punishable under Section 121 of the Indian Penal Code [IPC].”

The Special Sessions Court in Mumbai on May 6 sentenced the lone surviving Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant, Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, to death for his involvement in the November 26, 2008 (also known as 26/11) Mumbai terrorist attacks, reports The Hindu. Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab "shall be hanged by neck till he is dead", the court pronounced.

He was also awarded life imprisonment on five counts: attempt to murder in furtherance of a common intention, kidnapping and abducting in order to murder, conspiracy to wage war, collecting arms with the intention of waging war and causing explosion thus endangering life and property. "You have been given the death penalty for murdering Indian citizens, Police Officers, conspiring with Lashkar [LeT] leaders and committing terrorist acts. The court has said while giving the judgment that you shall be hanged unto death," Judge M.L. Tahaliyani told Kasab. The Indian Penal Code Sections under which Kasab has been given death penalty are: 302 (murder), 302 read with 120 B (criminal conspiracy), 121 (waging war), 302 read with 34 (common intention) and 302 read with 109 (abetment) read with 120 B.

For the other offences, he was awarded rigorous imprisonment, simple imprisonment and imposed with fines. Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told reporters that a confirmation of the death penalty from the Bombay High Court was awaited.

The special court which conducted the trial of November 26, 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks (also known as 26/11) has criticised personnel of Azad Maidan Police Station, saying they acted in a "cowardly" manner and "ran away" instead of stopping the militants, reports Times of India. Instead of coming to the aid of Additional Commissioner Sadanand Date, who engaged the terrorists in a gunfight on the terrace of Cama Hospital and got grievously injured in the process, the officers from the Police station possibly "ran away", Judge M. L. Tahaliyani said in the judgement, a copy of which was made available to PTI on May 24. In addition, the 26/11 special court has come down heavily on the prosecution and investigating agency for submitting "doubtful" and "fragile" evidence against accused Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed that led to their acquittal in the terrorist attacks case. "The evidence of the only prosecution witness is doubtful and unreliable. The investigating agency has failed to provide quality evidence against the duo (Faheem and Sabauddin)," the 1600-page judgement, said.

The trial in the July 2006 serial train bomb blast case is scheduled to restart in a special court on May 24 (today), reports Times of India. Seven RDX bombs kept in first class coaches of Mumbai’s suburban trains exploded on July 11, 2006. The Anti Terrorist Squad said that the conspiracy was hatched in Pakistan and at least five of the 13 arrested persons had gone to that country for terror training. The Police also said Pakistan-based militant outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) had used the banned organisation, Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), to engineer the blasts. The trial started in a special court in December 2007. However, matters could not progress as the accused had challenged the application of certain provisions of law. The legal dispute was finally settled by the Supreme Court in April 2010 before the trial court in Mumbai could hear the case again. The process involved a delay of more than two years. In 2007, Saeed Ahmed, son of serial bombing accused Sohail Shaikh Shabbir Masiullah arrested for the 2006 Malegaon blast, and Zameer Rehman, accused in the Aurangabad arms haul case, had filed petition in the Bombay high court challenging the constitutional validity of Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). When the High Court upheld the decision to slap MCOCA, the accused moved the Supreme Court in 2008 and it stayed their trials.

Abdul Samad Bawa, who was arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in a 2009 arms case, was granted bail by a court on June 15, reports The Hindu. The judge cited lack of material evidence as the main reason for grant of bail. Samad is also a suspect in the February 13, 2010 Pune German Bakery bomb blast case.

Samad, a resident of Bhatkal Taluk (revenue unit) in Uttara Kannada District of Karnataka, was arrested at the Mangalore airport. Shortly after the arrest, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram termed Samad the “prime suspect” in the Pune bomb blast case. However, the ATS has not yet confirmed his links to the blast.

Sadhaks (seekers) of the Sanatan Sanstha, engineered the October 16, 2009 Margao (Maharashtra) blast as the Government had refused to respond to their demand for a ban on Narkasur (Monster) celebrations, the prosecution told before the Margao sessions court on June 16, reports Times of India. The Sanstha believes that the festival glorifies the demon Narkasur and shows Lord Krishna in poor light, special public prosecutor S. B. Faria said while explaining the motive behind the crime. However, the National Investigating Agency had on May 17 filed a common 3,000-page chargesheet in the Margao blast case and the planting of explosives at Sancoale against 11 accused.

The court's order was with reference to an appeal filed by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), challenging the revocation of the MCOCA. A Division Bench of Justices B.H. Marlapalle and Anoop V. Mohta noted that “all the orders [of the Special Court] are required to be quashed and set aside and all the bail applications would stand restored to the file of the Special court for being decided afresh on their own merits.” Sadhvi Pragnya Singh Thakur, Lt. Col. Prasad Shrikant Purohit and Ajay Rahirkar are the accused, who had applied for bail. The arguments pertaining to the application of the MOCCA in the Malegaon case hinged on the issue of cognisance on the two charge sheets filed against accused Rakesh Dhawade prior to the Malegaon blast – one in Parbhani and the other in Jalna. Two previous charge sheets against one of the accused persons of an organised crime syndicate is a requirement for applying the MCOCA. The High Court restored it on the ground that cognisance was taken on Dhawade's charge sheets. It observed that the Special Court's basis for revocation of the Act on the issue of taking cognisance was “against well settled legal position.”
