HC notice to state in terror accused Maulana Qavi's bail plea
[BUSINESS-STANDARD] The Gujarat
...where rioting seems to be a traditional passtime...
High Court issued a notice to Gujarat government today in connection with the bail application of terror accused Maulana Abdul Qavi who had allegedly taken part in anti-national activities with the help of terrorist outfits.

A High Court division bench, comprising Justice V M Sahai and Justice R P Dholaria, issued notices to the state government and posted the matter for further hearing on August 21.

Qavi, a Hyderabad-based holy man, had filed a bail application before the Gujarat High Court last month in the alleged 2003 Interservices Intelligence (ISI) conspiracy case after it was rejected by a special court under the Prevention of Terrorism Activities Act (POTA).

On July 2, Additional Prinicipal Judge of POTA court Geeta Gopi had rejected Quavi's bail application on the ground that he had remained absconding for more than 11 years.

Qavi had sought regular bail from the court arguing that since the probe agency has filed its charge sheet in the case, there is no reason to keep him behind the bars.

He said the witness, who had named him in the alleged case of terrorism, later turned hostile before the court.

from New Delhi airport on March 24.

Qavi had been named as a 'wanted' for the last 11 years under a case of Prevention of Terrorist Activities (POTA) Act which was repealed after UPA-I came to power in May, 2004.

A charge sheet against Qavi was filed last month saying that he took part in the proxy war with the direct or indirect support of Pakistain's ISI and also other terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiyaba (LeT) to avenge the post-Godhra riots.

It was also alleged that Qavi had sent several Moslem youth to Pakistain-based training camps run by LeT and Jaish- e-Mohammad to spread terror in India.
