93 Mumbai blast: SC rejects bail of Rubina , Yusuf Memon
New
Delhi,
Feb
12
:
The
Supreme
Court
on
Tuesday
rejected
the
bail
plea
of
Rubina
and
Yusuf
Memon
in
connection
with
1993
Mumbai
blasts
case.
Rubina
and
Yusuf
Memon,
sister-in-law
and
younger
brother
of
prime
accused
Tiger
Memon
respectively,
were
convicted
of
abetment
and
conspiracy.
While
Rubina's
plea
was
summarily
dismissed,
the
apex
court
ordered
setting
up
of
a
medical
board
to
assess
Yusuf's
mental
health.
Both
had
moved
the
apex
court
challenging
the
Mumbai
TADA
court
verdict
convicting
them
in
the
case.
They
had
been
awarded
life
sentences.
Rubina, the wife of Tiger Memon's brother Suleiman Memon, was not given the death sentence because she was a woman. She was found guilty of allowing her Maruti van to be used for the transportation of weapons and arms, and also for allowing her flat in the Al Hussaini building to be used for a conspiracy meeting. Yusuf was also found guilty for allowing their flat in the same building to be used for conspiracy meetings. He was also spared the death penalty and awarded a life term on health grounds, as he is a known schizophrenic, needing constant medical attention.
In January, the apex court had granted bail to Anjum Abdul Razak Memon alias Essa, one of the convicts involved in the case. Tiger Memon has been declared absconding, while his father Abdul Razzak Memon passed away during the trial.
