...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned , always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
(LeT) terrorist Mohammad Arif alias Ashfaq, a Pakistain national, had filed a review petition against capital punishment for the December 2000 Red Fort attack
Arif, a Pakistain national, was held guilty of murder, criminal conspiracy, and waging war against the country. The bench concluded there is nothing on record which can be taken to be a mitigating circumstance in favour of the review petitioner.
"The suggestion that there is a possibility of retribution and rehabilitation, is not made out from and supported by any material on record," said Chief Justice Lalit, who authored the judgment on behalf of the bench.
The Chief Justice said in conclusion, it must therefore be observed that even after eschewing circumstances, which were directly attributable to the CDRs relied upon by the prosecution, the other circumstances on record do clearly spell out and prove beyond any doubt the involvement of the review petitioner in the crime in question.
Referring to judgment in Mohd Ajmal Amir Kasab case (2008 Mumbai terror attack) (2012), the bench said: "when there is challenge to the unity, integrity and illusory sovereignty of India by acts of terrorism, such acts are taken as the most aggravating circumstances. It is well accepted that the cumulative effect of the aggravating factors and the mitigating circumstances must be taken into account before the death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
is awarded."
The bench noted that there were other circumstances, including a disclosure statement by the convict, which led to an encounter at Batla house and killing of Abu Shamal alias Faisal, which went against the convict.
"The disclosure statement led the police to the hideout at G-73, Batla House, New Delhi and when the police team arrived with the review petitioner, there was firing upon the police team.. After the person concerned named Abu Shamal alias Faisal died in the encounter, certain firearms and ammunition were recovered. The submission that such recovery of ammunition or the encounter of Abu Shamal could not be associated with the disclosure statement of the review petitioner is not quite correct," said the bench.
In the Red Fort attack, three people, including two Army jawans, were killed.
In August 2011, the Supreme Court
 ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
confirmed the death sentence of arrested LeT terrorist Mohammad Arif for carrying out the December 2000 Red Fort attack. The apex court also dismissed his review petition later in August 2011. However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
in 2016, the apex court decided to re-hear his review petition.
In November 2005, the trial court had awarded Arif a death sentence. The trial court had also fined Arif Rs 4.35 lakh for the attack that left two Rajputana Rifles jawans and a civilian dead. The Delhi High Court, in 2007, upheld the death sentence to Arif
