The Delhi High Court Monday reserved its decision on a plea by one of the convicts in the 2006 Mumbai train bombings seeking a 2009 Intelligence Bureau report which purportedly called for review of evidence in the case.


While reserving the decision in the matter, Justice Vibhu Bakhru was of the view that the IB report sought under the transparency law RTI did not have any relation to human rights violation and therefore, the intelligence agency was exempted from providing it.


The court also observed that the case against the convict Ehtesham Qutubuddin Siddique, represented by advocate Arpit Bhargava, had run its course and he could have raised the issue of false implication earlier.


The judge was also of the view that the exception in the RTI Act, under which details can be sought from intelligence agencies, would not apply in this case.


"Will pass orders later," the court said. Siddique, in his plea, has claimed he was falsely implicated in the case which amounts to violation of his human rights and therefore, he needed the IB report which purportedly called for review of the evidence in the 2006 Mumbai train blasts case. -- PTI
