Mumbai: One of the seven persons acquitted in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case, Sameer Kulkarni, has opposed the appeal filed by the family members of the victims seeking to overturn their acquittals.

In his reply affidavit before the Bombay High Court, Kulkarni contended that the grounds raised in the appeal are “untrue, invalid, unclear, irrelevant, unfounded, unreliable, incomprehensible, baseless, illegal.”

He has sought dismissal of the appeal “with heavy cost” so that “a completely innocent Indian citizen who has been an unjust victim for 17 years can live happily for the remaining short period of his life.”
