The Bombay High Court has upheld the conviction of two terrorists, Abdul Latif Abdul Rashid Shaikh and Riyaz Ali Abu Bakar Shaikh, who were sentenced in 2016 under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act for planning to carry out terror attacks in the city.
The two were arrested by the Mumbai Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) in 2010 and had been sentenced.
The special court had convicted Abdul and Riyaz to 12 years and 10 years respectively.
In a verdict pronounced Monday, Justice AM Badar rejected an appeal filed by Abdul and Riyaz challenging the special court's order.
The two had approached HC last year challenging the special court verdict on the ground that the prosecution had failed to follow the law in securing their conviction.
As per the plea, both the convicts were arrested by the ATS in March 2010 after the latter received "information that a person based in Pakistan was conspiring with his aides in Mumbai for carrying out terror activities and blasts at several places in Mumbai, including the ONGC building, and Mangaldas market."
