Mumbai, Jan 30 (Reporter) Dismissed police officer Sachin Vaze -- a key accused in the Antilia bomb scare case and also facing charges in the Khwaja Yunus custodial death case -- moved the sessions court here on Tuesday, seeking a pardon while citing the delay in trial. However, at the same time, he has denied his role and involvement in the case. Vaze submitted a four-page-long handwritten application, stating that the prosecution had nowhere said he was involved in the alleged murder nor had the body of Yunus been identified. However, he prayed to the court to record his statement, wherein he had agreed to make full and true disclosure of the facts of the case and sought pardon. “I have been suffering because of the pendency of this matter for the last 20 years. This is not only abuse of the process of law, but it has been harming my livelihood, reputation and status in society. Being arraigned as an accused in the case, the Indian Criminal Jurisprudence does not give me opportunity in my case until the ending part of the trial,” Vaze said in his plea. He also said that “the crucial aspect of this case is pending before the Hon. Supreme Court. Its outcome is unlikely in the near future. The restarting of the trial does not seem to be in the near future and thus, the end will take another some years. The agony I am facing will be endless.” The plea will come up for hearing in due course of time...////...
