The five against whom the prosecution is seeking for maximum punishment (death sentence) are Mustafa Dossa, Abu Salem, Firoz Khan, Karimmulla Khan and Tahir Merchant.

The prosecution has also sought maximum punishment for the six convict, Riyaz Siddique, which as per the charges against him is imprisonment for life.

The designated court for Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) on June 16 held six of the seven accused guilty in the case.

While five convicts facing capital punishment have been found guilty of participating in the conspiracy and responsible for its execution, Siddique has only been found guilty for aiding and abetting.

The prosecution today would compare the roles of the five convicts facing death penalty with Yakub Memon, who was hanged to death for his role in the serial blasts case.
