HC rejects furlough plea of 1993 blasts convict Rubina Memon

The Bombay High Court has rejected the plea of 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blast terror convict Rubina Suleman Memon, seeking her release on furlough. A bench of Justice V K Tahilramani and A M Badar in a recent judgment denied to release Rubina Memon as she had been convicted by a TADA court for her involvement in terrorist activities.<br/><br/>Rubina Memon was sentenced to life imprisonment along with three other family members by a Mumbai TADA Court in 2006, while her husband Sulieman was acquitted due to lack of evidence. Her brother-in-law Yakub was sent to the gallows on terror charges. Rubina Memon, currently lodged in Pune's Yerwada prison moved the High Court by a writ petition seeking furlough leave, which was rejected last week.
