The Supreme Court has given a major relief to Samir Kulkarni, one of the accused in the 2008 Malgaon bomb blast case. The Supreme Court stayed the trial court proceedings against Kulkarni. This is an interim stay, which will last until further orders. While hearing Kulkarni’s plea, the court said the sanction taken to prosecute Sameer under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) was not appropriate. Therefore, conducting a trial against him is illegal.
The next hearing in the case will be held on July 23.
A bench of Justice AS Bopanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar stayed the court proceedings. Now the next hearing in this case will be on July 23. Allow us to inform you that Samir Kulkarni has filed an application to the Supreme Court to stay the proceedings under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The petition states that the sanction taken to prosecute him is inappropriate. In this regard, the Supreme Court issued a notice to the Maharashtra government seeking its reply.
What was said in the petition filed by Samir Kulkarni?
Adv. that the case cannot be opened Vishnu Shankar Jain told the court that the petitioner is being unnecessarily harassed and his rights are being violated.
The petition also challenged the Bombay High Court order dated June 28, 2023. In fact, the Bombay High Court upheld the NIA court order dated April 24, 2023. Earlier, Kulkarni’s petition was dismissed by the NIA court . Let us inform that Sameer Kulkarni, BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Col Prasad Purohit and six other people are facing trial for the Malgaon blast.
