Delhi blasts case: Court disallows suspect's plea seeking CDs

New Delhi, Mar 23 (PTI) A court here in India's national
capital Monday disallowed a plea of a suspected Indian
Mujahideen terrorist and an accused in the September 13 serial
blasts, seeking a copy of alleged electronic evidence in the
case.

Metropolitan Magistrate Manish Yaduvanshi refused to
allow the plea of accused Zia-ur-Rehman seeking compact discs
of images allegedly retrieved from seized mobile phones.

The court, however, said that the compact discs,
containing the images, would be shown to the accused before
framing of the charges against them in the cases registered in
connection with the serial blasts last year.

M S Khan, counsel for accused Rehman had filed the
application in the court on February 4, seeking CDs of the
images retrieved allegedly from the mobile phone of Atif
Ameen, the prime accused, who was killed during the Batla
House encounter on September 19 here.

Meanwhile, the court extended the judicial custody of
five suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorists and accused
Zeeshan Ahmed, Rehman, Saquib Nissar, Mohd Shakeel and Mohd
Hakim by 14 days.

It sent them to judicial custody till April 6.

Another accused Mohd Saif had on March 19 been handed
over to Gujarat police for his alleged role in the July 26
serial blasts there.

The court issued production warrants against three other
suspects, Saif, Mohd Sadiq Sheikh and Quamuddin Kapadia, who
are also in Ahmedabad, for April 6.

The police had already filed the chargesheets in the five
cases registered in connections with the blasts that had
claimed 26 lives and left scores injured.
