The Bombay High Court told a special NIA court in Mumbai yesterday to conclude the trial in the September, 2008 Malegaon blast case, expeditiously.
The High court said that neither the prosecution nor the accused should try and delay the trial. A division bench headed by Justice Ranjit More was hearing a petition filed by one of the accused claiming that the trial was proceeding at a snail’s pace as the prosecution summoned only one witness every day.
Six persons were killed and a hundred others injured when a bomb attached to a motorcycle went off near a mosque in Malegaon, a communally-sensitive town in north Maharashtra, on 29th September, 2008. BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur is a prime accused in this case.
