The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the bail plea of Abdul Naseer Madani, arrested for his alleged role in the 2008 serial terror blasts in Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Jaipur.
A fast track court dismissed a bail application of Kerala Peoples Democratic P leader Abdul Naseer Madani, an accused in the 2008 Bengaluru blasts, on grounds that there was "no prima facie case to grant him anticipatory bail". Sessions Judge Srikanth Watavatagi, who heard arguments put forward by both Madani's counsel and the public prosecutor on Thursday, rejected the application, saying there was no prima facie case to grant anticipatory bail to the leader.
A Supreme Court bench on Wednesday referred to Chief Justice of India S H Kapadia the bail plea of 2008 Bangalore blast accused Abdul Naseer Madani following differences between two judges on grant of bail to him.
The National Investigation Agency on Friday filed a chargesheet against suspected Laskhar-e-Tayiba operative T Nazeer and Soofiya Madani, wife of People's Democratic Party leader Abdul Naseer Madani, and 11 others over the burning of a Tamil Nadu state transport bus at Kalamassery in suburban Kochi on September 9, 2005.
Apparently embarrassed by a Lashkar-e-Tayaiba terror suspect's alleged links with Abdul Naseer Madani-led Peoples Democratic Party, Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan said on Wednesday that the Communist Party of India-Marxist, which had "cooperation" with it in Lok Sabha polls, will not have any truck with such outfits in future.
