The
Gujarat High Court
(HC) on July 26,
reduced jail terms
of 21 persons
convicted in the

decided not to
challenge their

the Prevention
of Terrorist Activities
Act (POTA) court
in 2010, as reported
on July 28, by
The Times of
India.
The
bench also reduced
their fines to
just INR 100 per
offence against
them. With this,
liabilities of
INR 45,000 in
some convicts'
cases will come
down to just INR
500, which is
to be paid within
a month.

POTA court had
acquitted 22 others
in this case.

and many of them
are considered
masterminds. The
big names include
Dawood Ibrahim,
Chhota Shakeel,
Sharif Khan, Rasool
Party and Mufti
Sufiyan Patangia. |
