The youth’s mother Sangeeta Ashok told the court that her husband was killed in the Delhi High Court bomb blast on September 7, 2011.

She had also informed the court that as per its order, the victims’ children were to be rehabilitated but the university had denied admission to her son because she had not filled the form in a prescribed format. She apprised the court that she was under depression.

The court listed the matter for November 1 for filing of a report by the Delhi Legal Service Authority on the status of other victims of the terror attack.

At least 15 people were killed and 79 injured in an explosion outside Gate Number 5 of the court complex here in 2011.
