Pakistani national Mohammad Hussain, who was awarded death sentence in a 1997 Delhi blast
case in which four people had died, will have to face trial
again with the Supreme Court today directing re-trial after setting aside his conviction and capital punishment.
A three-judge bench gave this order on the ground that he was not given full opportunity to defend himself in the lower court.

The apex court passed the order after a division bench earlier had given a split verdict on his appeal .Mohammad Hussain was convicted and sentenced to death in November 2004 by the trial court for his role in a 1997 Delhi blast case which had occurred in a blue line bus leaving four persons dead and 24 others injured.
