The High Court, after a six-and-a-half-month-long hearing, reserved its ruling in Friday's case of 2006 blasts in Mumbai's local trains. 12 of the 12 convicts in the blasts moved an appeal in the Bombay High Court challenging the sentencing. On Friday, Justice Anil Kilor and Justice Shyam Chand heard the case for the last time.

The court, in its ruling, convicted individuals, who have appealed in the High Court contesting their sentencing and conviction, have been undergoing a routine hearing for 6 months. Senior advocates Yug Mohit Chaudhary and Payoshi Roy, representing the accused, argued

A total of 12 persons were convicted in a special court in 2015. Five of them, including Ehtesham Siddiqui, Asif Khan, Faisal Sheikh, Naved Khan, and Kamal Ansari, received the death penalty, and 7 persons received life imprisonment sentences.

During the hearing in the case, the court said that if any accused wants to say something, we can allow him to do so for two minutes. On this, Naved Hussain, an accused lodged in Nagpur jail, told the court that he had been framed in this case. After this, no other accused said anything, so the court thanked everyone and said that "the hearing is closed for the decision.
