India, Feb. 24 -- Nearly seven months after he was acquitted in the 7/11 Mumbai train blasts case, the Bombay High Court on Monday granted bail to Faisal Ataur Rehman Shaikh in the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul case, which had kept him behind bars.

Shaikh was among the 12 men acquitted by the high court on July 21, 2025, in the 2006 serial train blasts case. While 10 of the acquitted men were released soon after the verdict-and one had died in prison in 2021-Shaikh continued to remain lodged in Pune's Yerwada Central Jail as he was serving a life sentence in the Aurangabad arms haul case.

On Monday, a bench of Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande granted him bail in the case, while his appeal against conviction remains pending.
