1993 Mumbai blasts case: SC reserves order on convict Abu Salem's plea for premature release

Supreme Court reserved order on Abu Salem's plea for premature release after 25 years in prison.

Salem's counsel argued jail authorities did not give benefit of undertrial period despite TADA court direction.

Plea linked to extradition terms from Portugal; Salem claims he completed 25 years by December 24, 2024.

CBI told special TADA court Salem must pay Rs 16.51 lakh fine for two prior convictions by October 12, 2030, or serve default sentences.
