State vs. Convict — 1996 Samleti bus bomb blast case

The Supreme Court set aside the death sentence of Dr. Abdul Hameed on 21 July 2026, citing a lack of effective legal representation during the trial and ordering a fresh trial. In the same judgment, the Court acquitted a second convict, Salim, and upheld the acquittal of six other accused individuals on 22 July 2026, ruling that retracted confessions were insufficient to establish guilt.
