Death Penalty for Delhi Serial Blasts Accused

In a strongly worded judgment, Mohammad Hussain’s plea to set him free was struck down by a Bench of Justice R S Sodhi and Justice P K Bhasin for “satisfying the conscience of society”, as the accused was a “menace to society” and did not “deserve to exist on this earth”.

“Showing any mercy to people like the appellant (Hussain) would be a mockery of justice… whenever some person is found guilty of this kind of gruesome act and ghastly murder, the penalty of death sentence is the only appropriate punishment and there is no alternative to it,” the judges observed.

Mohammad Hussain is one of the alleged accused in the 1997 serial blasts that had taken place in the capital city. Though the decision took nearly 10 years to come, I guess there are a few things in life which classify as ‘Better late then Never’.

Hopefully the judges here have set a good example for Tada court special judge P D Kode who last week announced that he would “commence the delivery of the judgment” in the trial for the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai on August 10.
