The military tribunal paused Col. Shrikant Purohit’s retirement after acquittal in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, pending promotion review.
The Armed Forces Tribunal has paused the retirement of Colonel Shrikant Purohit, acquitted in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, pending a decision on his promotion to Brigadier.
The March 16, 2026, order comes after Purohit argued his career was unfairly disrupted during a nearly 17-year legal battle, including years in custody.
The tribunal found merit in his claim that he was denied promotions during his trial and must be treated fairly compared to peers.
His retirement remains on hold until a hearing on May 22, when the government will be asked to respond.
