The Bombay High Court has directed a special court here to re-adjudicate an application filed by Mubin Shaikh, arrested in 2008 for allegedly being a member of the banned terror outfit Indian Mujahideen, challenging the invocation of provisions of the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act
The HC was hearing an appeal filed by Shaikh challenging the April 2019 order of the special court dismissing his application against the invocation of MCOCA.
However, the medical evidence proved that it was a homicidal death; hence the husband was later charged with murder. At the time, the woman was five months pregnant, with a male child.
