To: s q masood <[email protected]> Dear Friends, This is the request to you please find the attached petition address to the Hon.ble Minister, Ministry of Home Affairs demanding to file an appeal before the Hon.ble High Court for retrial/re investigation of the Macca Masjid blast case. This is the request to you please endorse the petition and share this to your friends. Endorsement can be send to [email protected] Looking for immediate response! Thanks Masood To Shri Rajnath Singh, Hon.ble Minister, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, New Delhi. The Director General, National Investigation Agency, New Delhi. The Deputy Inspector General, National Investigation Agency, Hyderabad Branch. Sir, *Sub:* NIA’s failure in securing the prosecution of perpetrators of bomb blast in Makka Masjid, Hyderabad in 2007. Request for immediate filing of appeal in higher court against judgment of lower court judgment for retrial/reinvestigation of the case for the sake of justice for the kin of victims – Reg. It is a matter of great concern that a bomb was planted and exploded by terrorists in Hyderabad’s Makka Masjid on 18th May 2007 claimed lives of 8 innocent citizens and around 58 innocent citizens injured badly. All citizens of India were shaken up by this act of terror and expressed their sympathy to the victims and anguish against the act. Hyderabad city police registered an FIR in Hussaini Alam Police Station in 2007, the said case was handed over to the CBI on 9th June 2007 later the same case was transferred to the NIA (National Investigation Agency) on: 7th April 2011 with a hope that the government of India will provide justice to the victims through NIA. On 16th April 2018 the IV Additional Metropolitan and Session judge (NIA special court) in Hyderabad delivered his judgment in the above case and acquitted to all accused in the case due to insufficient evidence provided by the NIA. This has shocked the citizens of Hyderabad as NIA failed to provide justice to victims in a terror case after a lengthy investigation of 11 years. This clearly shows the lack of preparation, commitment and dedication of the agency to fight against the terrorism. We the concerned citizens strongly believe that the Government of India should adopt a zero tolerance approach to all acts of terrorism, thereby sending a clear message that terrorism is unacceptable in all its forms. The Government should also take practical steps to prevent and combat all kinds of terrorist acts. Those practical steps include a wide array of measures ranging from strengthening state capacity to counter-terrorism activities in the country. The failure of Government agencies to secure prosecution of perpetrators and thereby justice for victims of terrorism is a gross violation of various articles of The Constitution of India, Resolutions of SAARC convention and other International laws. The Constitution of India states that: 1. *“Article 14 - The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law and equal protection of laws within the territory of India.” *As you can see, this right is reserved not just for Indian citizens but to 'any person' within the territory of India” 2. *Article 15 - The state shall not discriminate against people on the basis of religion, race, sex, place of birth or any of them. * 3. *Article 21 - Deals with Protection of life and personal liberty.* 4. *Article 51- The State shall strive for the promotion and maintenance of international peace and security, just and honorable relations between nations, respect for international law and treaty obligations, as well as settlement of international disputes by arbitration.* *The SAARC convention (Suppression of Terrorism) Act 1993, - This* *Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism was signed on behalf of the Government of India at Kathmandu on the 4th day of November, 1987.* *UN has passed several resolutions to combat terrorism to which the Government of India is a signatory.* We strongly believe that India as a major partner in the SAARC group of countries should play an important role to promote Peace, Harmony and combating terrorism. However failure of government agencies to secure prosecution of perpetrators of terrorist acts will send a wrong signal in International community about the India’s stand on fight against terrorism. We feel common people especially minorities of the country are losing faith on the Judiciary and investigation agencies. It is thus the responsibility of Government of India to restore confidence of the community by providing justice as soon as possible as justice delayed is justice denied. We would like to remind you that Section 21 (1) of National Investigation Agency Act 2008 provides 30 to 90 days time to file appeal against Judgment, Sentence and Order in the Honorable High Court. There we demand that the Government of India should: 1. Order NIA to file appeal against the judgment in the Honorable high court for the retrial/re investigation of the case. 2. Issue orders for re-investigation of the whole episode. NIA has failed to investigate, produce evidence and hired an inexperienced public prosecutor due to which the case was resolved after 11 years. 3. Instruct the high court to monitor complete investigation and trail of the case. 4. Ensure innocent people should not face harassment during the course of investigation. We hope the Government of India will take positive and immediate action in the matter as the real culprits are not punished till now and they victims of the dastardly act and their kin have not received justice till now.
