Six years after a prime accused in
the serial blast case was declared a proclaimed offender, a
TADA court has dischaged him on the ground that there was no
material to nail him in the crime.
On a plea by CBI, designated judge P D Kode on Monday
discharged Sayed Javed Hussain Mazammil Hussain, who was
arrested on June 24 last from his residence in Mumbai.
The accused was reportedly absconding after the bomb
blasts shattered the metropolis on march 12, 1993. After the
trial commenced on June 30, 1995, court had declared him a
proclaimed offender. Since then his whereabouts were not
known.
CBI produced the accused before the court yesterday and urged the judge to discharge him because they had come across the passport of the accused which showed that he was in Dubai a month before the bomb blasts occurred. CBI submitted that the charge against the accused about his participation in a conspiracy meeting at Al-Husseini building of prime accused Tiger Memon prior to the blasts could not be established because at the said time he was in Dubai.
The details shown in his passport said the accused was working as a tailor with a firm in Dubai from February 12, 1993 to October 4, 1996. Farhana Shah, Amicus Curie, argued that the evidence adduced by CBI so far did not implicate the accused and said it would be fit and proper to discharge him from the bomb blast case.
