Azmi then had represented the accused in the 7/11 Mumbai local train blasts , the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul , the 2006 Malegaon blasts case . Though the High Court had rejected his application challenging the use of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act ( MCOCA ) in these alleged terrorism cases and asked for stay , in February 2008 , the Supreme Court of India stayed the three trials . In July 2008 , Azmi filed a petition in the High Court alleging that the accused in the 7/11 Mumbai blasts , then lodged in the Arthur Road Jail , were being tortured . Responding to the petition , the court ordered an inquiry in the case , and the allegations were found to be true . In his brief career of seven years , he secured 17 acquittals in court
