Abu Salem Ki Jaldi Rihaai Ki Maang Supreme Court Ne Kharij Ki, 1993 Mumbai Blasts Case:

Mumbai: 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case mein life imprisonment ki saza kaat rahe Abu Salem ko Supreme Court se bada jhatka laga hai. Court ne premature yani samay se pehle release ki maang wali unki plea dismiss kar di hai.

Abu Salem ka kehna tha ki jail mein good conduct ke liye saza mein mili chhoot aur undertrial custody ke period ko bhi 25 saal ki imprisonment mein count kiya jana chahiye.

Salem ne Portugal se India extradition ke waqt diye gaye assurance ka hawala diya tha. India ne assurance diya tha ki Salem ko death penalty nahi di jayegi aur uski imprisonment 25 saal se zyada nahi hogi.

Supreme Court ke 2022 judgment mein bhi India ko is assurance ka palan karne ko kaha gaya tha.

Salem ke lawyer Senior Advocate Rishi Malhotra ka argument tha ki Salem ko good conduct ke liye lagbhag 3 saal se zyada ki saza mein chhoot mili hai.

Undertrial custody aur is chhoot ko mila kar Salem ka claim tha ki woh lagbhag 25 saal ki imprisonment complete kar chuka hai.

Lekin Bombay High Court ne pehle hi Salem ka argument reject karte hue kaha tha ki jail mein good conduct ke basis par mili normal chhoot ko extradition assurance wale 25 saal ke period ko aur kam karne ke liye use nahi kiya ja sakta.

Court ke mutabik Abu Salem ko 11 November 2005 ko India laya gaya tha aur 25 saal ka period November 2030 mein complete hoga. Supreme Court ne ab Salem ki premature release ki plea dismiss kar di hai.
