A Delhi court today issued fresh notices to two school principals to appear before it on a plea of a suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorist who claimed himself to be a minor and remanded the accused to judicial custody in the cases relating to serial blasts here about two years ago.
Chief metropolitan magistrate Kaveri Baweja sought the presence of the headmaster of a school at Bandra in Mumbai,
where accused Salman was said to have taken admission in class I, and the principal of a school in Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh
from where he had passed his class X examinations.
The court issued fresh summons against the two schools heads for April 12 as they had failed to appear before it.
Their statements are likely to help the court to dispose of the application of Salman and determine his age.
Salman, in the application, had alleged he was juvenile at the time of serial blasts in the national capital that had claimed 26 lives and left over 135 other injured in September, 2008.
He had produced a class X marksheet issued by the Uttar Pradesh Board stating his date of birth as October three,
1992.
The police, however, had claimed there were contradictory reports with regard to his age as the passport obtained by him on forged documents from Nepal showed it to be May 27, 1985.
The AIIMS, which was directed to constitute a medical board, had opined that his age was between 25 and 26.
Meanwhile, Salman, who was produced before the court after the end of his police custody, was remanded to judicial custody till April nine.
He was arrested on March six by Anti-Terrorism Squad of UP Police from Siddarth Nagar, about 300 km from Lucknow.
He is alleged to have travelled to Dubai and Pakistan after obtaining passport on forged documents from Nepal.
