Trail court wrongly convicted 2 accused in 7/11 Mumbai Train Blasts case: ex-CJ to HC

Mumbai, Jan 14 (UNI) Former Chief Justice of Orrisa High Court and Senior Advocate Dr S Muralidhar on Tuesday told the Bombay High Court that the trial court has wrongly convicted two accused in the Mumbai 7/11 train blasts case.
Concluding his two-day arguments on behalf of the two life convicts, he said ''without any evidence these innocent persons were arrested and MCOCA was invoked only to get the confessional statements extracted from them and based upon them they were wrongly convicted''.
Arguing before a special bench of Justice Anil Kilor and Justice Shyam Chandak, which has been hearing the convicts' appeals for more than five months now, Dr Muralidhar said that under designated MCOCA, these confessional statements aren't admissible as evidence since the officer has failed to identify the persons, whose confessional statements, he recorded and the same have absence of 'voluntariness' which is a requisite mandate.
