A special Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court in Mumbai (Maharashtra) on February 16 convicted extradited gangster Abu Salem in the 1995 murder of builder Pradeep Jain, reports The Times of India. This is the first conviction under TADA for Salem, who is also being tried under the Act in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. Holding Salem guilty, Special Judge G A Sanap said, "In the backdrop of the use of sophisticated firearms and the brutal murder committed by pumping 17 bullets into the body of Pradeep Jain and causing bullet injury to Sunil Jain (the builder's brother), the prosecution has proved the act was done with an intention to strike terror in the minds of the Jains and the builder community."

A special Terrorist and Disruptive Activities [Prevention] Act (TADA) court in Mumbai on February 25 sentenced gangster Abu Salem to life imprisonment for the murder of builder Pradip Jain in 1995, reports The Times of India. His former driver Mehendi Hasan was also sentenced to life imprisonment. The sentencing comes after both the prosecution and defence presented extensive arguments over the last week. Salem is likely to move the apex court as appeals against convictions under TADA cannot be filed in the High court. Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam had earlier said, "This judgment will give a strong jolt to the Dawood Ibrahim gang because it has now been judicially proved that Abu Salem, along with Anees Ibrahim (Kaskar), had hatched a criminal conspiracy to commit terrorist acts in India."

Infamous gangster Abu Salem, who has been accused of murdering Mumbai realtor Pradeep Jain, is expected to be sentenced by a court in Mumbai on February 25 (today), reports Zee News. Salem, who was extradited by Portugal after ten years, is a former associate of wanted terrorist and mafia don Dawood Ibrahim and is lodged in Taloja Central Jail in adjoining Raigad District of Maharashtra at present. In the Jain murder trial, special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam had initially demanded the death penalty, which he later converted to a life sentence owing to conditions of the extradition treaty between India and Portugal. Salem`s lawyer Sudeep Pasgola argued that he could not be given the death sentence as it would violate the treaty between the two countries. The special Terrorist and Disruptive Activities [Prevention] Act (TADA) court on February 16 had found Salem and two others - Mehndi Hasan and Virendra Jhamb - guilty of the murder of Jain, who was shot dead outside his Juhu residence on March 7, 1995 following a property dispute. Salem, Hasan and Jhamb were charged and convicted for offences like murder and criminal conspiracy. The case is one of the most important for the Indian legal and law enforcing authorities as it involves a wanted absconding accused extradited to face the law.

Maharasthra Police produced seven persons accused of waging war against India for a court hearing in Mangaluru on March 18, reports The Times of India. The accused produced were Sayyed Mohammed Noushad, Ahmed Bava Aboobakkar, Mahammed Ali, Javed Ali, Mohammad Rafiq, Fakeer Ahammed and Shabir Bhatkal. They were among 13 persons arrested from various places along the coast in October 2008. According to the charge sheet filed before the jurisdictional court, the accused during a period from 2004 to 2008 with an intention to create acts of terror across India and create animosity among people of various religions and communities came together as part of a conspiracy and planned to carry out bomb blasts in the country. The accused help secret meetings, mobilised funds to carry out the terror drive and even gathered arms and ammunition for the purpose. The charge sheet said the acts of terror were also planned to undermine the sovereignty of the nation and to that effect, the accused went about systematically procuring devises such as timers, circuits to carry out their plans. New Indian Express adds that Ahmed Bava and Mohammed Noushad were arrested by the Mangaluru Police on charges of giving shelter to Yasin Bhatkal and Riyaz Bhatkal, Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives on August 3, 2008. However, as Ahmed Bava and Mohammed Noushad are the key accused in giving shelter to the terrorists, Mumbai Police had sought their custody.

A court in Mumbai (Maharashtra) on April 7 discharged Ejaz Shaikh (28), a suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative, in a case of sending terror email after the 2010 Varanasi bomb blast, reports The Times of India. "During the investigation, the Police did not find evidence against Shaikh and hence we filed an application under Section 169 of the Code of Criminal Procedure requesting the court to discharge him from the case," confirmed a senior ATS officer. Shaikh, a Pune resident, was first arrested on September 6, 2014, from outside Saharanpur station in Uttar Pradesh (UP) by the Delhi Police's Special Cell.

The Bombay High Court on April 28 held that Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) can be applied along with the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in terrorism cases, reports Mumbai Mirror. The ruling came while accepting an appeal filed by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in Pune's Jangli Maharaj blasts case of August 21, 2012. The Court was hearing an appeal filed by the ATS challenging the order of the MCOCA court of August last year (2014) discharging all the eight accused in the serial bomb blasts in Pune in 2012 from MCOCA and transferring the case to a regular Sessions Court, to be tried under UAPA and Indian Penal Code (IPC). "MCOCA and UAPA operate under different fields and the ambit and scope of each is distinct from the other. The present case (Jangli Maharaj Road blasts) being the case of a serial bomb blasts, the same will attract the provisions of only the UAPA," the judge had then observed.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on May 20 filed a charge sheet before a Mumbai (Maharashtra) court against four Kalyan youths, Areeb Majeed and his accomplices, Saheem Tanki, Fahad Shaikh and Aman Tandel, who have allegedly joined Islamic State (IS), under various provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC), reports The Hindu. The NIA charge sheet revealed that prime accused Areeb Majeed (lodged in Mumbai Central Prison) and his three fugitive friends fought for the international terror outfit as “fidayeen” (suicide bombers) after they were trained in the handling of weapons and explosives. The charge sheet said that using Ziyarat (pilgrimage) visas, four youths left for Iraq on May 25, 2014, as part of a group. After joining the outfit, the four accused were rechristened as Abu Ali Al Hindi, Abu Uthman Al Hindi, Abu Bakr Al Hindi and Abu Umar Al Hindi. They then underwent training in the use of arms, explosives and battlefield tactics, following which they were inducted as suicide bombers. Subsequently, Areeb Majeed participated in several battles against the Syrian and Iraqi forces. He sustained bullet injuries on two occasions and was once seriously hurt in a United States (US)-led air bombing. He purportedly told the NIA that after he was seriously injured last October, he decided to return “for spreading jihad in India.” However, the NIA charge sheet has not made any mention of people involved in recruiting the youths in India or those who helped them reach Iraq knowing that they were going to join IS, reports The Times of India. Sources said while the agency has identified such people, it has as yet not found any evidence to link them to the case. Areeb Majeed allegedly disclosed that while in India, about two years ago he came in contact with the IS sympathisers and members through social networking websites. In desperation, he contacted people from various countries, including Australia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the United States, all of whom asked him to first reach Turkey.

The special court on August 6 allowed a plea by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to conduct the trial of the alleged 26/11 (November 26, 2008) Mumbai (Maharashtra) attack mastermind Abu Jundal through video conferencing, reports Indian Express. In its plea seeking trial through video conferencing, the NIA stated that the Maharashtra government feared that the suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative could either be killed or abducted while being brought to the Delhi court. Jundal is currently lodged at Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail. “After applying the findings/observations of the High Court, I am of the considered view that the application of NIA deserves to be allowed. I, therefore, allow the application of NIA under Section 273 of the CrPC for commencing the trial through video conferencing,” District Judge Amar Nath said.

The Bombay High Court (HC) on October 12 granted bail to Aslam Shabbir Shaikh alias Bunty Jahagirdar, one of the prime accused in the case of the low-intensity serial blasts on Jangli Maharaj (JM) Road of Pune (Maharashtra) in August 1, 2012. However, while granting bail, the bench imposed several restrictions, asking Shaikh to co-operate with the investigating agency. He was also asked to not leave the country till the case is disposed of. Surprisingly, the special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court had rejected Shaikh's bail plea last month but, despite major opposition from Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS), he has managed to get bail now. Going against ATS, the bench of Justice Revati Mohite-Dhere observed that there was no direct role of the accused in the blast or planting explosives on the road; his role was restricted to the supply of arms, weapons and cartridges to some other accused. Passing strictures against ATS, the judge also said that Jahagirdar should have been implicated separately under the Arms Act, which the agency failed to do. The court also considered the argument of the defence lawyer that Jahagirdar has been behind bars since January 2013 and has the right to get bail as per provisions of the law.

The Sessions Court in Mumbai (Maharashtra) on November 6 reserved its order till November 18, 2015 on Mumbai Police's plea seeking to make Pakistani-American Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist David Coleman Headley an accused in the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai terror attack case, reports Zee News. The Police had filed the application before the sessions judge GA Sanap on October 8. The court this week framed charges against Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, one of the key conspirators of the Mumbai terror attack. The prosecution today told the sessions court that Headley had not been tried under Indian law for 26/11 conspiracy. "An American court is not competent to try offences under Indian Penal Code. The charges for which Headley has been convicted by the US court and the charges we are pursuing against him are entirely different," said Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. The judge said that the judgement of a foreign court only has "persuasive value" and it cannot be relied upon as evidence. "He should have been made a wanted accused. You are coming with evidence collected by others," he said. Headley, accused of conducting a recce of targets before the Mumbai terror attack, was sentenced to 35 years' imprisonment by a court in the USA after he entered into a plea bargaining agreement with the US government.

The Bombay High Court on December 21 reserved its judgment in the death confirmation case against the sole convict arrested Himayat Baig of Indian Mujahideen (IM) for his involvement in the German Bakery bomb blast of Pune (Maharashtra) case of 2010, reports dnaindia.com. A division bench of Justice Naresh Patil and Justice SB Shukhre will deliver their judgment in due course of time against Baig who has also appealed against the judgement. Special Public Prosecutor Raja Thackeray has argued for confirming the death sentence by stating that the entire case is based on circumstantial evidence and every circumstance has been proved by relevant records which are of sterling quality. Further, he has argued in favour of the death penalty saying that the trial court reasoning is sound, thus death penalty should be upheld. Earlier, a Pune court had awarded death penalty to Baig for his involvement in the 2010 German Bakery blast case, after the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) investigated and filed a chargesheet against him. Baig, was arrested in September 2010. The conviction was handed down in early 2013. The court had found Baig guilty of taking part in the conspiracy and executing the blast.
