2008 Malegaon Blast Case : Lt Col Purohit Seeks Fresh Adjudication Of Discharge Plea Based On New Materials

Live Law  

Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Purohit, an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, has sought directions from the Bombay High Court for the trial court to re-adjudicate his discharge application on the point of absence of sanction under section 197 of the CrPC. Purohit claims that he attended conspiracy meetings before the 2008 Malegaon blast while "discharging his duties" as an army intelligence officer, therefore sanction under section 197of the CrPC is needed to prosecute him. On Thursday, a division bench of Justices SS Shinde and NJ Jamadar agreed to hear Purohit's amended appeal seeking to remand the matter back to the trial court and adjourned the hearing for July 19. He has also challenged the Maharashtra Home department's Additional Chief Secretary's order granting sanction to apply UAPA in the 2008 Malegaon blast case.
