Two Pakistani Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists and three others were on January 18 sentenced to ten years rigorous imprisonment by a Delhi court in connection with a series of bomb blasts in various north Indian cities in 1997 that killed 17 persons and injured nearly 300 others. "The serial blasts appear to be a concerted plan to cause maximum damage to the lives and property of the public. It was a direct threat to the normal functioning of the Government and amounts to destabilising the society", Additional Sessions Judge Rajiv Mehra said in the order. The LeT terrorists, Ajaz Mohammad and Mohammad Hussain were found guilty of conspiring to wage war against the country along with Aamir Khan, Mohammad Shakil and Abdul Baqi for planning 37 blasts in Delhi, Panipat, Sonepat, Ludhiana, Kanpur and Varanasi on different days in 1997.

The Patna High Court on January 30 suggested to the Central Government to consider opening of a special cell in its home ministry and giving the charge of this cell to a minister of state for tackling the Maoist problem in Bihar, according to Times of India. A division bench comprising Chief Justice J. N. Bhatt and Justice R. N. Prasad also felt that the Centre should give a special status to Bihar for providing resources and should monitor the security measures for checking the Maoist problem. The judges maintained this can be done in the case of Bihar as has already done in the cases of Jammu and Kashmir, some North-Eastern states and Andhra Pradesh for checking terrorism. The court made the observation while hearing an Public Interest Litigation of People's Watch filed by its convener and lawyer Arvind Kumar.

The Bahraich District court in Uttar Pradesh on September 6 granted permission to withdraw a treason case against the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) chief Shahid Badar Falah and 11 other members of the outfit, according to Hindustan Times. The court also analysed audio and video recordings of Falah’s speech on the request of a group of lawyers, who were opposing the withdrawal. District Government Council (DGC) Anwar Ahmad Khan, who was pursuing the case, submitted several arguments before the court for withdrawing the case. The DGC said after studying the case diary of Falah he found that no prima-facie case can be made out in the matter and there was no ground to continue the case. Besides, the base of the First Information Report (FIR) was very weak and there were several errors in the FIR lodged by the Kotwali police against Falah and others. SIMI’s lawyer Mohammed Farooq reportedly said all the accused were innocent and they did nothing unlawful. Falah had allegedly delivered an inflammatory speech at Sir Syed Girls College in Bahraich on September 16, 2001. He called Muslims to take Quran in one hand and sword in the other hand and also allegedly said we would follow rules of Quran and not those made in the Constitution.

A local court in Aizawl has held that the Mizoram Government had paid a ransom of INR 60 lakh to Hmar militants for the release of North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO) workers during its previous tenure, reports Sentinel. The Additional District Magistrate of Aizawl, K. L. Liana, while settling a case between the State Government and R. Lalzirliana, a serving legislator of the Congress party, passed the judgment on December 4. The judgment said evaluating the statements of witnesses of both the litigator and the respondent, it was the court’s opinion that ransom had indeed been paid for the release of kidnapped persons to the Hmar militants. Lalzirliana had alleged that the State Government had paid huge amounts of ransom for the release of NEEPCO workers, who had been abducted by members of the Hmar People’s Conference in 2002. Following the allegation, Mizo National Front party leader and a minister, R. Tlanghmingthanga, had filed a defamation case on behalf of the Mizoram Government. According to Lalzirliana’s counsel, the State Government had paid a ransom of INR 60 lakh to militants on three occasions through a local man identified as one Saikapa.
