New Delhi: A year after the attack on Parliament, a Delhi court is likely to pronounce its judgement on December 11 in the sensitive case in which four persons including two alleged Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militants and a suspended lecturer were tried under POTA (Prevention of Terrorism Act).

Special Judge S N Dhingra had reserved the order in the case on November 25 and had fixed December 11 for pronouncement of judgement.

The alleged JeM militants Mohd Afzal, Shaukat Hussain Guru, his wife Navjot Sandhu alias Afsan Guru and S A S Geelani, suspended lecturer of a Delhi University College, were charge-sheeted for the December 13 Parliament attack.

The court had framed charges against them accusing them with attempting to kill the Vice-President, Prime Minister, Central Ministers, MPs and several other VIPs.

The accused have been charged with threatening the unity, integrity, security and sovereignty of the country by waging war against it and committing several other offences under POTA, IPC (Indian Penal Code), Explosive Substance Act and Arms Act.

JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar, the outfits chief commander in Jammu and Kashmir Ghazi Baba alias Abu Jehadi and one Tariq have been declared proclaimed offenders in the case.

The five Pakistani militants who were killed in the gun battle with security forces in the Parliament House complex were Mohammed alias Leader, Hamza, Haider alias Tufial, Raja and Rana.

Nine security personnel were killed and 16 others injured when the militants had stormed the Parliament House.
