Supreme Court Stays Mumbai Blasts Acquittal, Accused Won't Return to Jail

In 2006, bombs exploded on trains in Mumbai, killing many people.

Recently, a court said the people accused of doing it were not guilty.

Now, the highest court in the country has stepped in.

They've said that while the accused can stay free, the lower court's decision can't be used as an example for other cases.

The government appealed because they were worried about how this verdict could affect other similar cases.

This means the case is still being looked at legally, but the accused won't be put back in jail.
