Decide HC blast accused bail plea within a week of taking it up: HC

The Delhi High Court has asked a special NIA court to dispose of the bail plea of Wasim Akram Malik, an accused in the September 2011 high court blast case, within a week after taking it up.

Justice G S Sistani issued the direction after the lawyer for the accused contended that the Supreme Court in March this year had held that bail applications should normally be disposed of within one week by the subordinate courts.
