Ahmedabad, July 7 -- Welcoming the Gujarat High Court's decision to uphold the trial court's 2022 verdict in the 2008 Ahmedabad serial blast case, Alpesh Shah, brother of Maninagar blast victim Chiragbhai Shah, on Tuesday said terrorists responsible for such "heinous acts" should not be granted any leeway and called for reforms to ensure faster justice in terror cases.

"The Sessions Court had sentenced everyone to death in 2022, and the High Court has now upheld that verdict. I am happy, but there was a gap of four years. Our legal system needs reform; terrorists who commit such heinous acts should not be granted any leeway," Shah told ANI.

He said those convicted in terrorism cases should face swift punishment to send a strong message....
