The Delhi High Court asked the city police to explore the possibility whether a suspected terrorist allegedly involved in Delhi serial blasts could be allowed to write his examination paper from the jail. Justice Reva Khetrapal passed the order on a plea of Saquib Nisar,second year MBA student of the Sikkim Manipal University,requesting that he should be granted interim bail to appear in examination. The Court asked the police to file its response tomorrow when the matter will be taken up for further hearing. Saquib Nisar,who has been in custody since he was arrested on September 20,2008,pleaded that he should be granted bail to appear in MBA third semester examination which is to begin from February 7 in Delhi. "The gravity of the allegations cannot and should not bar the right of any accused to pursue his studies," Saquib's counsel,Vikas Padora pleaded before the Court. The Court had earlier issued notice to city police on Saquib's plea on January 30. The police have already filed chargesheet against Saquib Nissar and other accused - Mohd Saif,Zeeshan Ahmed,Zia-ur Rehman and Mohd Shakeel in the September 13 serial blasts. They have been accused of waging war against the nation under the Indian Penal Code. According to the police,all the accused who have been named in the chargesheet were also involved in the serial blasts in Jaipur and Ahmedabad. They had visited Ahmedabad before the July 26 serial blasts under fake names which came to light during the investigations and was later confirmed by examining the railway tickets and reservation chart,the police said in the chargesheet.
