Judge resigns after acquitting Mecca Masjid blast accused
Special NIA court judge K Ravinder Reddy on Monday resigned due to "personal reasons", hours after acquitting all five accused in the Mecca Masjid case citing lack of evidence. Further, the witnesses in the case retracted their statements and turned hostile during the court hearing. The blast, which occurred in May 2007, had killed nine people and injured 58 others.
