The Supreme Court has stayed the execution of the death sentence for Mohammad Tanvir, an Indian Mujahideen operative convicted in the 2008 Ahmedabad serial bomb blasts that killed 56 people. The Gujarat High Court had upheld death sentences for 38 operatives on July 7, citing the large casualties and terror intent. The Supreme Court will review the case and has ordered records from lower courts.
