Hindustan Times Navi Mumbai|December 12, 2024
MUMBAI: A special court designated under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) has ruled that Abu Salem Abdul Qayyum Ansari, a convict in the March 1993 Bombay serial bombings case, must serve a full 25-year sentence, rejecting his claim that he had already completed his term, including remission.

Abu Salem will have to serve 25-yr term: Court

The court dismissed Salem's plea, stating he was not entitled to early release.

Special Judge VD Kedar, citing a Supreme Court order from July 11, 2022, emphasised that the grievous nature of Salem's offence precluded any special privileges to reduce his sentence. The apex court's order stated: "Looking into the grievousness of the offence in which the applicant was involved, there is no question for this court exercising any special privileges to commute or to restrict the period of sentence of the applicant."

The court clarified that Salem, 55, must complete the entire 25-year sentence.
