A special bench of Justices Anil Kilor and Shyam Chandak observed that “the prosecution utterly failed in establishing the case beyond reasonable doubts”.

The Court found the statements of nearly all prosecution witnesses unreliable. According to the Court, there was no reason for the taxi drivers or people in the train to remember the accused after almost 100 days of the blast.

On the recovery of evidence such as bombs, guns, maps etc, the Court said that the recovery was immaterial and not important to the case as the prosecution failed to identify the type of the bomb used for the blasts.

One of the twelve accused had passed away in 2021 due to COVID-19.

The Court had been hearing the matter since July 2024.
