The Bombay High Court has agreed to hear the petition filed by the victims of the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case. Following the court’s decision to proceed with the hearing, Maulana Arshad Madani, the president of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, has responded. He stated that Jamiat will pursue the case with utmost seriousness and ensure justice for the victims.
In a statement released on Thursday, Maulana Arshad Madani revealed that the Bombay High Court has accepted the petition filed by the victims of the Malegaon-2008 bomb blast, challenging the lower court’s decision. The court has issued notices to all seven accused, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and Colonel Purohit, as well as the NIA (National Investigation Agency).
Maulana Arshad Madani, through a post on social media platform X, said that Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind will engage the country’s top criminal lawyers to pursue justice in the Malegaon 2008 bomb blast case.
He further stated that the Bombay High Court has accepted the hearing of the victims’ petition and issued notices to all the accused, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Colonel Purohit, and the NIA. The next hearing is scheduled to take place in 6 weeks.
Maulana Madani stated that the special NIA court acquitted all the accused in July 2025, citing a lack of evidence. Now, the bomb blast victims are once again fighting for justice in the High Court with the legal assistance of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind.
He added that the bomb blast victims placed their complete trust in Jamiat and gave permission to file a petition in the High Court on their behalf, after which their advocates filed the petition, which was heard. He further stated that the services of the country’s renowned criminal lawyers will be utilized during the hearing of this important case in the future, and the case will be pursued with full seriousness in the High Court.
