A division bench of the Supreme Court today passed a split verdict on the plea of a Pakistani national challenging his conviction and death sentence awarded to him in the 1997 Delhi blast case.
While Justice H L Dattu was of the opinion that a fresh trial should be conducted in view that witnesses were not cross examined by the accused, the other judge Justice C K Prasad did not hold the same view.
In view of the split verdict, the matter has been referred to the Chief Justice.
