An NIA court yesterday rejected the demand of an accused in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case to have honorific 'Shri' prefixed to his name
An NIA court on Tuesday rejected the demand of an accused in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case to have honorific 'Shri' prefixed to his name.
"The court has rejected the application moved by the accused, Dayanand Pandey alias Shankaracharya, seeking to add 'Shri' before his name," said special public prosecutor Avinash Rasal.
Pandey had moved the court saying the honorific should be added to his name as he has the right to dignity and was not convicted by any court in any case.
