New Delhi: The Supreme
Court Friday issued notice on a petition by journalist Syed
Mohammed Ahmed Kazmi seeking bail in the case of his alleged
involvement in Israeli embassy vehicle blast case in which an
Israeli national was injured.
A bench of Justice Altamas Kabir and Justice J.Chelameswar issued
notice to the central government, the Delhi government and the
attorney General following a brief mentioning by Kazmi's counsel
Mehmood Pracha.
Kazmi is detained under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act
in connection with the Feb 13, 2012, blast in an Israeli embassy
vehicle blast that took place on Aurangzeb Road-Race Course Road
crossing. The Israeli defence attache's wife Tel Yehoshua Koren
who was travelling in the car was injured in the blast.
He has challenged the magistrate court's order extending his
detention by another 90 days retrospectively. Kazmi who was
arrested on March 6, has already completed his first detention of
90 days.
Mentioning Kazmi's plea for bail, Pracha said that neither the
charge sheet has been filed in the case nor there was any
application moved by the investigating agency seeking more time
for filing the charge sheet.
A person could be held under detention for a maximum of 180 days
after which a review board has to look into the case.
Kazmi has contended that he was a journalist and had worked with
Doordarshan for 20 years and held the PIB card which is issued
only after highest level of security clearance.
Kazmi was produced before the chief metropolitan magistrate, a day
after his arrest who granted 20 days police custody till March 27.
The investigating agency completed its interrogation before the
completion of police custody and he was sent to judicial custody
for 14 days.
Kazmi's first bail plea moved on March 28 was rejected on April 3.
He again twice sought bail on June 22 and Aug 13 but both times
the plea was dismissed.
