🧨 What Went Down (2006 Recap)

  • On July 11, 2006, seven blasts rocked Mumbai’s suburban trains 🛤️, killing 188 and injuring 829 😢.

  • In 2015, a special MCOCA court convicted 12 individuals—sentencing 5 to death and 7 to life terms 🧑‍⚖️.

  • The Bombay High Court (Justices Kilor & Chandak) overturned the verdict on July 21, 2025, citing lack of credible evidence, procedural flaws, and coerced confessions 🧾.

🔍 Why HC Called It “Very Shocking”

  • The bench highlighted that the prosecution failed to record the type of bombs, ripped apart key evidence, and treated confessions as unreliable “copy-paste” extracts made under suspected torture 🧨.

  • It also condemned ATS methods and noted witnesses came forward only after years, raising doubts about their authenticity 🧐.

🚨 Political Fallout

  • CM Fadnavis said the verdict is “very shocking” 😡 and vowed to appeal in the Supreme Court after reviewing the full judgment and consulting legal experts 🧠.

  • BJP leaders like Kirit Somaiya and Chandrashekhar Bawankule urged deeper ATS probe and immediate SC action 🗣️.

  • AIMIM’s Owaisi questioned why ATS officers haven’t faced action, calling the case a grave injustice against those wrongfully jailed for 19 years ⚖️.

📅 Supreme Court Next Steps

  • Maharashtra govt filed a special leave petition, asking for an urgent hearing 📑. The CJI listed it for July 24, 2025, and may consider a stay to prevent further releases ⛔.

  • Victims' families and activist groups are preparing their own separate petition in SC to uphold convictions and demand a more transparent re-investigation 🙏.
