Maharashtra ATS Faces High Court Setback in 7/11 Mumbai Train Bomb Blasts Case

The Bombay High Court acquitted all 12 accused in the 7/11 Mumbai train bomb blasts case, leading the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) to reassess its actions. The High Court criticized the prosecution's failure to prove the case and nullified the previous MCOCA court's punishments, offering significant relief to the accused.

The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is reassessing its approach following the Bombay High Court verdict that acquitted all 12 accused in the notorious 7/11 Mumbai train bomb blasts case.

The verdict, issued nearly two decades after the bombings killed more than 180 people, indicates prosecutorial failings as the High Court criticized the lack of convincing evidence against the accused.

Previously, the special MCOCA court imposed severe sentences on the accused, but this recent ruling nullifies those decisions, prompting the ATS to consult legal experts for further judicial strategies.
