NIA unlikely to challenge Aseemanand's bail in Mecca Masjid case

It is unlikely that the order will be challenged as the judgment appears to be in Aseemanand's favour.

The National Investigation Agency is unlikely to challenge the bail granted to Swami Aseemanand in the Mecca Masjid blast case. Aseemanand was on Thursday granted bail by a court in Hyderabad.

The NIA says that it is now waiting for the order copy. "We will examine it before taking a final call," said an officer. However, it is unlikely that the order will be challenged as the judgment appears to be in Aseemanand's favour.

The court had relied on the bail orders granted by a court in Panchakula in connection with the Samjautha express case. Recently Aseemanand was dissolved of all charges in the Ajmer blasts case.

The NIA has not challenged his bail granted in the Samjautha case. In fact, there were questions raised over this decision by the NIA. Parliament was informed that after detailed examination, it was decided that there was no merit in challenging the bail granted to Aseemanand.
