Indian Express reports that, on July 5, a special Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) court in Mumbai dismissed a plea by an accused in the 2003 Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazaar blasts who questioned the applicability of POTA after its repeal. The accused, Arshad Ansari, cited a May 18 judgment by the Supreme Court in which Justice Markandey Katju expressed an opinion about the constitutional validity of TADA after its repeal. Dismissing the application, special POTA Judge S. S. Joshi upheld the prosecution’s argument that the opinion expressed by Justice Katju was not final, and therefore, not binding. She also upheld the prosecution’s argument that TADA, which is at par with POTA, has been held constitutional even after its repeal in a couple of apex court judgments.

On July 11, 190 persons were killed and 625 others were injured in seven blasts targeting the railway networks in the city of Mumbai. Times of India reports that first class compartments of trains at Mira-Bayandhar, Jogeshwari, Mahim, Santacruz, Khar, Matunga and Borivli stations on the Western Railway were targeted. Police sources said high grade explosive material was used in the blasts but the exact nature of the explosives was yet to be established. Mumbai police sources, however, indicated that RDX could have been used to carry out the blasts. Services on the Western Railway were suspended following the blasts which damaged overhead electrical lines and signalling system. The Hindu reports that the Government on July 12 (today) claimed to have got some "leads" on the blasts. Home Secretary V K Duggal told media personnel in New Delhi, "We have leads about the Bombay blasts but no arrests have been made." He however, refused to name any terrorist outfit responsible for the blasts.

The designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court judge P. D. Kode rejected the application by 16 of the 24 convicts in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, seeking a stay on its proceedings, reports Times of India. On June 19, the convicts had filed an application saying that the TADA, under which the trial was conducted, expired on May 24, 1995, and there was no rational ground to suggest that acts committed before and after should be treated differently. Judge Kode held that the convicts were only citing an opinion given by a Supreme Court judge that questioned the applicability of TADA after it had lapsed. Defence lawyer Farhana Shah filed another application urging a stay on the sentencing till a fresh appeal is filed in the Supreme Court.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, speaking at a press conference in Mumbai, said that the serial blasts in Mumbai were carried out by terrorists with support from across the border, according to The Hindu. He further warned Pakistan that it would be difficult to carry forward the peace process if it did not control terrorist elements operating from its territory. Prime Minister said, “I have explained it to the government of Pakistan at the highest level that if the acts of terrorism are not controlled, it is exceedingly difficult for any government to carry forward what may be called as normalisation and peace process." Commenting on whether talks on confidence-building measures with Pakistan will continue, he added, “Pakistan, in 2004, had solemnly given an assurance that Pakistani territory will not be used to promote, encourage, aid and abet terrorist elements directed against India. That assurance has to be fulfilled before the peace process or other processes can make progress.”

On July 15, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of the Mumbai Police in collaboration with the Kutch police in Gujarat claimed to have busted a sleeper cell of Pakistan-based militant outfit Al Badr that was operating from the Bhendi Bazaar area of Mumbai since 2006. Indian express reports that Pakistani national Mohammed Salim Memon alias Salim Malai and two other local operatives- Sultan Ansari of Nagpada and Irfan Lakhani of Mumbra, were arrested from different parts of the Mumbai city.

Memon was first arrested on May 8 by the ATS from Nagpada area while in possession of 30 fake credit cards which he was attempting to sell to unsuspecting people and had been released on bail later.

Separately, the court found Nasim Barmare guilty of criminal conspiracy and committing terrorist acts not resulting in death, among other offences. He was also found guilty of acquiring weapon training, participating in conspiracy meetings, preparing vehicle bombs and hurling hand grenades at the Sahar Airport.

The designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court, on July 18, awarded death sentence to three aides of prime convict Tiger Memon- Parvez Nazeer Ahmed Shaikh, Mushtaq Tarani and Abdul Ghani Turk- in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, reports The Hindu. Judge P.D. Kode held Parvez Nazeer Ahmed Shaikh guilty under Sections 302 and 120-b of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 3(2)(i) of TADA and pronounced the death penalty on all three counts. He was also given varying sentences for offences under the Explosive Substances Act, the Explosives Act, the IPC and the TADA Act, and asked to pay a fine of INR 5,25,000. The court said Shaikh was deeply involved in the conspiracy. Tarani was convicted for attending a meeting organised by Memon at Hotel Taj Mahal on March 4, 1993 when the entire conspiracy behind the blasts was finalised. Tarani was also found guilty of doing a reconnaissance of the Stock Exchange building and BMC building along with Memon and others to select targets to plant the bombs. "He (Tarani) was a member of the conspiracy from February 1993 till the end. He was also associated with Memon. He was not affected by the riots, and therefore has no justification," said Judge Kode and sentenced Tarani to death on the count of conspiracy. Tiger Memon’s driver Abdul Gani Turk, who had parked an RDX-laden jeep in front of a restaurant in Century Bazaar, Worli was held responsible for the death of 113 people and injuries to a further 227 — the highest casualties in a single explosion that day. He was given a triple death penalty and fined INR 1,75,000. Rejecting pleas made by the three convicted that "the revenge against the demolition of the Babri Masjid and atrocities against Muslims" should be "considered as a mitigating circumstance", Judge Kode said: "There is no material to show that he was directly affected by it (the riots). It has been held that his act for taking revenge against the atrocities committed against Muslims is negative. These acts (the blasts) brought disgrace to Islam and created unnecessary enmity between Indian citizens. For committing such a heinous act, sentence of death has been announced." "Those who died were not connected with the demolition of the Babri Masjid. They were citizens of Mumbai who were totally innocent, Kode further said." The judge said the sentences are subject to confirmation by the Supreme Court.

The Hindu reports that the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) Court on July 19 sentenced three more persons to death for planting bombs in different locations in Mumbai on March 12, 1993. Shahnawaz Qureshi and Asgar Mukadam were sentenced to death for conspiracy as well as for committing terrorist acts. Shoib Ghansar, who was involved in the plan just a day before the explosions, was given death sentence for planting a bomb, and life imprisonment for conspiracy. The sentences are subject to Supreme Court confirmation. Asgar Mukadam, found guilty of all charges including under 120–b (criminal conspiracy) and 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and 3(2)(i) of the TADA, had driven and left an RDX-laden car at Plaza theatre in central Mumbai near the Shiv Sena headquarters, Sena Bhavan. The subsequent explosion killed 10 persons, left 36 injured and caused property damage worth INR 8.7 million. He also dropped other bomb planters at two targets, Centaur Hotel and Sea Rock Hotel. He was sentenced to death on three counts, and given other sentences for offences under the IPC, the TADA Act, the Explosive Substances Act and the Explosives Act, besides a total fine of INR 4,25,000. Shahnawaz Qureshi had planted the car bomb at Plaza cinema. He was also found guilty of acquiring training in Pakistan and landing RDX. Convicted of the charges, apart from dropping the other bomb planters at target spots, Qureshi was given death sentence on all three counts, other sentences and a total fine of INR 3,75,000. Shoib Ghansar, a relative of Mukadam, had planted a scooter bomb at Zaveri Bazar killing 17 persons. Ghansar, who worked as salesman in a shopping complex in central Mumbai, was cleared of the charge of participating in the original plan. Delivering the death penalty, Judge P D Kode said: "Though he has not participated in the conspiracy and preparation, he still committed the heinous act of putting the bomb knowing full well. His confession says that after planting the scooter at Zaveri Bazaar he went to a nearby mosque and asked for pardon for his wrong deeds. It means he knew what he was doing, and so the death sentence for committing a terrorist act." He was also awarded life imprisonment under Section 120-b of the IPC and fine of INR 2,75,000.

Former additional customs commissioner of Raigad region of Maharashtra, Somnath Thapa, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a fine of INR 200,000 for his role in the conspiracy. Thapa had facilitated landing of arms and ammunition including RDX at Shekhadi in February 1993. He was found guilty under section 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code and section 3(3) of the TADA. Judge P.D. Kode noted that Thapa committed a terrorist act by not taking any action despite having knowledge of the conspiracy. He said that he actively aided and colluded with prime absconding Dawood Ibrahim, Tiger Memon and Mohammad Dossa to get the contraband into the city. The court did not award the death sentence as he is suffering from lung cancer and prosecution did not press for maximum punishment, the judge observed. Thapa had been called to court last week but had not appeared citing medical reasons.

The Hindu reports that the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on July 20 sentenced three more persons in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case. Iqbal Shaikh was sentenced to death for involvement in the conspiracy. He had parked a scooter in central Mumbai near Dadar, which did not explode. He also had taken another planter Naseem Barmare to Sahar airport where Barmare dropped hand grenades. Although Iqbal was found not guilty for terrorist acts resulting in death, the Judge said, "If a bomb does not explode because of technical problems then the accused will not get the benefit. Death sentence is awarded depending on the act, intent and furthering the object of the conspiracy." Iqbal was also found guilty of acquiring weapons training, conspiracy meetings, abetting terrorist acts and preparing vehicle bombs at the Al Husseini building on the intervening night of March 11 and March 12 and has to pay a fine of over INR 200,000.

The designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on July 24 sentenced to death three convicts - Zakir Hussain Shaikh, Feroz Amani Malik, Abdul Akhtar Khan - who had lobbed grenades at the Fishermen’s Colony in Mahim on March 12, 1993, killing three persons and injuring six. They were convicted for conspiracy and committing a terrorist act. An accomplice, Moin Qureshi, who was 17 at the time, was spared the death sentence because of his "tender age" and was sentenced to life imprisonment on three counts - conspiracy, committing a terrorist act and murder. While Qureshi was convicted for acquiring weapons training in Sandheri and Bhor Ghats, Shaikh, Malik and Khan were convicted for acquiring weapons training in Pakistan. All four of them had driven to Mahim Causeway from Al-Hussaini building in a van which also had on board Salim Rahim Shaikh, Bashir Khairulla (both sentenced to life) and Mehboob Liyakat Khan (absconding accused). Each one, except Salim Shaikh, was given two grenades each by Javed Chikna (absconding accused). Of them, Bashir could not dislodge the pin of his grenade and hence could not throw one at any of them. "It is immaterial whose act directly led to the death of victims. All of them had the same objective: to kill people. So all have been held vicariously liable. While each was lobbing hand grenades, they were also aware that their companions were lobbing hand grenades," special judge P. D. Kode said.

Indian Express reports that the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on July 25 sentenced Farooq Pawale to death for parking RDX laden vehicles inside the Air-India building and then near a petrol pump adjacent to Sena Bhavan on March 12, 1993. The subsequent explosions had killed 24 people. Pawale had also surveyed the stock exchange building and the Air-India building with two absconding convicts, Mohammed Tainur and Irfan Chougule two days before the blasts. Tainur and Chougule had also parked an RDX laden car in the basement of the stock exchange building. The blast there killed 84 people and injured 214. Pawale also participated in the landing of arms and ammunition in Shekhadi. Not only was he present at the two strategy sessions, he was also there at Al-Hussaini building in the morning when the RDX was being filled in vehicles, which were later used as car bombs. Pawale was sentenced to death on five counts—conspiracy, on two counts of the charge of committing a terrorist act resulting in death, and on two counts of the charge for murder. Judge P. D. Kode said, "He was a major operator. He caused explosions at two places. He was also present when the Bombay Stock Exchange was surveyed. He was present during the landing, training and meetings conducted by the co-accused. There cannot be any other sentence more adequate than death."

Indian Express and The Hindu reported that the designated Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court on July 27 sentenced Yakub Memon, brother of key conspirator and man behind the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, fugitive Tiger Memon, to death for his role in the conspiracy. Yakub was convicted for conspiracy and organising the logistics of the blast and was held guilty under Section 120-b of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 (3) (aiding and abetting a terrorist act), and 5, 6 (illegal possession of arms and ammunition) of the TADA. He was given sentences of life imprisonment, 14 years rigorous imprisonment and 10 years RI. A total fine of INR 3,75,000 was also imposed. Yakub’s sister-in-law Rubeena was sentenced to life for aiding and abetting a terrorist act and allowing a van registered in her name to be used to transport arms, ammunition, and explosives used in the blasts. “Considering the role played by her and the fact that she is a lady, she is sentenced to life,” Judge P. D. Kode said. The court observed, “Though the flat and garage used for conspiracy meetings was in Rubeena’s name she is not held liable,” adding that in Muslim families men took decisions. Yakub’s brothers Essa and Yusuf were also sentenced to life and asked to pay a total fine of INR 1,50,000 after being found guilty for allowing their flat and garage to be used for the conspiracy. Though prosecution pleaded for death, Yusuf, who has been suffering from schizophrenia since 1991, was given life in consideration of his illness. Essa’s sentence, too, was “reduced from death to life” since he suffers from morbid obesity and has a brain tumour.

Pioneer reports that on July 30, more than a year after the July 11, 2006-Mumbai serial bomb blasts, the prosecution formally opened its case in the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court. In the detailed submission, Special Public Prosecutor Raja Thakre named Azam Cheema, the Bahawalpur (in Punjab province of Pakistan)-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) commander, who is also an operative of the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence, as being the absconding mastermind in the case. Thakre said that the conspiracy to engineer the blasts had been hatched several months before the actual incident. Several of the accused had been trained in handling arms and explosives and funds required for triggering the blasts had been routed illegally to the blasts' perpetrators based in India, he said. Following the Prosecution's submission, defence lawyers will present their side in the court on July 31, after which charges will be framed against the accused. All the 13 accused have been booked under MCOCA. Of the accused, Faisal Shaikh and Junaid have been named as among the key conspirators in the case.

The designated Terrorist & Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) court, on July 31, sentenced Hindi cinema actor Sanjay Dutt to rigorous imprisonment (RI) for six years and imposed a fine of INR 25,000 in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case for illegal possession of a prohibited weapon, reports The Hindu. The prosecutor had argued that Dutt had acquired an AK-56 and a pistol in January 1993 after the riots in Mumbai from Abu Salem, and was in contact with Anees Ibrahim, brother of Dawood Ibrahim, the mastermind behind the serial blasts. He had later destroyed the AK-56. Dutt was arrested on April 19, 1993, and spent 16 months during his two jail terms before getting bail. One of Dutt’s three associates, Russi Mulla, who had unknowingly kept Dutt’s pistol, was released under the Probation of Offenders Act. Another associate, Kersi Adjania, was sentenced to two years RI, but was given bail and Yusuf Nulwalla was sentenced to five-year RI and fined INR 25,000 for possessing the weapon and attempting to destroy the evidence. Judge P. D. Kode ruled that the accused were not immature at the time of offence and for every citizen, the laws of nation should stand first. He noted that the weapon could have resulted in mass destruction and it was an eminently dangerous act. Kode remarked about Sanjay’s case saying "not only did he commit the offence he also made others commit an offence of destroying it." The Judge also drew attention to Dutt illegally possessing a pistol in September 1992 and being introduced to Dawood Ibrahim in Dubai and even attending a party where gangsters Iqbal Mirchi, Chota Rajan and Sharad Shetty were present. Noting that possessing AK-56 was not his first offence, Judge Kode rejected his probation application.
