Court begins hearing on pleas against convictions

The HC has constituted a special bench of Justices Anil Kilor and Shyam Chandak to hear the appeals which have been pending since the special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court awarded death sentences to five persons in 2015.

On July 11, 2006, RDX blasts at seven locations on the suburban rail network of Mumbai in a span of 11 minutes had claimed 189 lives and injured 827 commuters. After an eightyear-long trial, 12 out of the 13 accused were convicted.

While five were given the death sentence, the remaining seven were sentenced to life imprisonment.
