Fahim Ansari Appeals for Justice: Seeks Police Clearance for Livelihood

Fahim Ansari, acquitted in the 26/11 terror case, petitions Bombay High Court for a police clearance certificate to drive an autorickshaw. Despite past acquittals, authorities deny him clearance, citing terror accusations. Ansari argues this violates his rights to livelihood, demanding the right to pursue employment opportunities.

Fahim Ansari, previously acquitted in the high-profile 26/11 terror case, has approached the Bombay High Court with a request for a police clearance certificate, which is vital for his new livelihood plan as an autorickshaw driver.

Despite his acquittal by multiple courts, Ansari faces obstacles due to previous accusations labeling him as a terrorist. His appeal underscores a claim of being unjustly barred from earning a livelihood, as the accusations should not impede him from job opportunities following an acquittal.

Ansari’s case is pending hearing, set for March 17, amid pleas that his fundamental rights to gainful employment free from any legal blemish are being violated. The legal battle highlights the ongoing stigma faced by individuals cleared of past charges.
