Confession of no use any more

Rejecting the bail application of the 9 accused in the Malegaon blast case the MCOCA court said that merely on the basis of the confession of ‘Aseemanand’ it cannot grant bail.
The court said that it cannot rely on Aseemanand’s confession simply because the confession statements reveal that Aseemanand has some some knowledge of the blast which cannot be made ground for granting bail. At this stage the material before the court is not sufficient and based only on the confession copy provided to the court the 9 accused cannot be granted bail court added.

It is however very unfortunate that CBI has filed an application earlier asking for permission for further investigation in this case that clearly implies to the fact that CBI itself was not satisfied with the investigations it carried out earlier and court has observed that investigations carried out by CBI earlier cannot be considered unsatisfactory or improper. One cannot deny the fact that from Aseemanand’s confession it is clear that it is the right-wing that was involved in the major blasts that were carried out in the country. The judgement seems to be based on the evidences that were produced before the court earlier and not on the confession copy of Aseemnand. The court must be aware about the fact that how things have turned out in this case and how innocent people have been made victims of the dirty religious politics in this case after Aseemamand revealed hard facts.

The question here is that why the court has then granted bail to ‘Abdul Kaleem’ who was earlier made prime accused in the Malegaon blast case and it is only after Aseemanand’s confession that he was granted bail and released from the jail while the investigations in the case are still on. This move by the court not to grant the bail based on the same confession copy is however contradictory to the verdict that has come out earlier in context to 'Abdul Kaleem'.
 
Is the court skeptical about the confessions made by 'Aseemanand' in front of the megistrate or confession has lost it's value in the eyes of the court?
