New Delhi: Three decades after a blast in a bus in Rajasthan's Dausa district killed 14 people, the Supreme Court on Tuesday set aside a convict's death penalty and ordered a fresh trial by a designated court. It also acquitted a lifer and dismissed the state government's appeals against the acquittal of six persons by the high court.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sanjay Karol and Sandeep Mehta set aside the 2019 judgement of the Rajasthan High Court on death row convict Abdul Hameed citing ineffective assistance by his counsel.
