In an important development today, special Mumbai court today discharged eight accused in 2006 Malegaon bomb blast case.
The order was passed by Sessions Judge VV Patil while heading a discharge applications filed by the accused.
One accused in the case had died, while six were released earlier in 2011 on bail.
Two other accused have been convicted in the 2006 train blast case.
The National Investigation Agency had last week told a Mumbai court it has found no evidence to link nine Muslims arrested in the 2006 Malegaon blasts case to the terror attack, a move that paved the way for their release.
The NIA also did not object to the discharge applications filed by the arrested accused, saying evidence collected by it were "not in consonance" with those obtained earlier by Maharashtra Anti-terrorism Squad and the Central Bureau of Investigation, which had recommended their prosecution.
"It is submitted that evidence collected by NIA in further investigation is not in consonance with evidence collected by the Anti-Terrorism Squad and the CBI. The court may kindly pass appropriate orders in the matter," the anti-terror agency told a special NIA court in response to discharge applications filed by the nine accused.
It said no evidence was found in support of the conclusion drawn in final reports filed by ATS and CBI, which had probed the case earlier, and recommended prosecution of the accused arrested in connection with the September 8, 2006 explosions that killed 37 people and wounded 125.
