Supreme Court Dismisses Abu Salem's Plea for Premature Release in 1993 Mumbai Blasts Case
The Supreme Court dismissed gangster Abu Salem's plea for premature release, upholding the Bombay High Court's decision that his request was premature. Salem, convicted in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case and extradited from Portugal in 2005, argued that he had completed the 25-year imprisonment limit set by India's extradition assurances to Portugal, including remission and undertrial custody. However, courts ruled that the 25-year term starts from his extradition date and cannot be reduced by remission. A detailed verdict is awaited.
