New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the death sentence of Zakir Hussain Noor Mohammed Shaikh, a death row convict in the 1993 Mumbai serial blast case.
A bench of Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan suspended Shaikh's death penalty while admitting his plea challenging the verdict of Mumbai's anti-terror court, which convicted him on charges of terrorism.
Sheikh had detonated a bomb in the Mahim fishermen's colony in Mumbai, killing three people and injuring six others.
