Abdul Majid, a resident of Thanamandi in Rajouri district, was sentenced to life imprisonment by District and Sessions Judge R S Jain in connection with the May 2, 2012 car bomb blast case.
Majid had provided shelter and logistic support to a Pakistani national Ghulam Sarwar who had planned and carried out the blast in which one person was killed and eight others, including a senior army officer, were injured, according to the prosecution.
The convict had helped Sarwar in the purchase of the car used for the blast from Delhi where he had introduced the Pakistani national as his nephew, it had said.
He said after hearing to the counsel, the judge found Majid to be a "co-conspirator in the car bomb blast case and sentenced him for life".
