The Supreme Court Friday ruled that the 1993 Bombay bomb blasts accused and underworld don Abu Salem can be tried for all the crimes he had committed in the country.
The court dismissed his plea that he could only be tried for the cases for which the
Portugal court permitted his extradition.
Justice P. Sathasivam and Justice A.K. Ganguly, constituting the apex court bench that heard the case, in their concurrent judgements said that beyond the extradition treaty that bound them, both India and Portugal were signatories to the UN convention on suppression of terrorism.
