The Supreme Court on July 17 allowed Abdul Nazir Maudany, People’s Democratic Party chairperson and prime accused in the 2008 Bengaluru serial bomb blasts case, to travel to his hometown Kollam in Kerala, from Bengaluru.
A Bench of Justices A.S. Bopanna and M.M. Sundresh modified a condition imposed on Mr. Maudany by the Supreme Court while granting him bail in July 2014. The Supreme Court, on July 11, nine years ago, had permitted him bail on the condition that he remained in Bengaluru for the entire duration of the trial.
On Monday, senior advocate Kapil Sibal and advocate Haris Beeran, for Mr. Maudany, submitted that the examination of witnesses in the case was over and he was not required to be present in court until the day of pronouncement of the judgment in the case.
