Aurangabad arms haul: Bombay HC asks Trial Court to explain slow progress

Tuesday March 26, 2013 09:39:52 PM, ummid.com correspondent

Mumbai: Upset by the slow progress in the Aurangabad arms haul case, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday asked the Special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) Court to file a reply within two weeks explaining the reasons why it could not speedily examine the witnesses.


“The Bombay High Court on Tuesday asked the Trial Court to file a reply within two weeks time clarifying why only two witnesses examined in six year”, Advocate Shahid Nadeem Ansari said while talking to ummid.com.


The court direction to the Special MCOCA Court by Justice S.C. Dharmadhikari after a bail plea was forwarded before him by Abdul Azeem Abdul Jaleel Shaikh alias RAJA, one of the accused in the 2006 arms haul case.

 

There are a total 247 witnesses in the case.

 

"If the case will go on like this, it will conclude after a century since Prosecution produced only two witnesses in six years out of 247", Advocate Sharif Shaikh told the court while arguing for the bail application.

 

The Supreme Court of India a year in response to an application filed by Jamiatul Ulema Maharashtra had ordered day-to-day hearing of the case.

 

Jamiatul Ulama Maharashtra is providing free legal aid to accused Azeem along with other accused languishing in jails from 2006.

 

The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) had in May 2006 claimed to have seized 43 kgs of RDX, 50 hand grenades, 16 AK-47 rifles and over 3,000 live bullets from Chandaud in Aurangabad, Central Maharashtra.

Twenty-one persons arrested in the case are facing trial under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
