The Bombay High Court is set to hear the petition filed by the victims of the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast. This follows the decision of the court to take up the matter. Maulana Arshad Madani, the president of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, has announced that the organization will provide full legal support to the victims.
Maulana Madani confirmed that the Bombay High Court has admitted the petition against the lower court’s decision in the Malegaon-2008 bomb blast case. The court has issued notices to all seven accused, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and Colonel Purohit, along with the NIA.
Maulana Madani took to social media to state that Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind will be represented by the nation’s leading criminal lawyers to seek justice in the Malegaon 2008 bomb blast case.
He emphasized that the Bombay High Court has accepted the plea filed by the victims and issued notices to all the accused, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Colonel Purohit, and the NIA. The next hearing is scheduled for six weeks later.
