The state-run Indian Airlines jet was hijacked en route to Delhi from Kathmandu with 180 people on board.
Militants freed
More than 100 witnesses were examined in the case.
The hijackers seized the plane 40 minutes after it took off from Kathmandu, Nepal, on a flight to Delhi on 24 December.
India released three militants its forces had captured in connection with the insurgency in Kashmir in exchange for the release of the passengers.
One of those freed by India was Pakistani religious leader Maulana Masood Azhar of the militant group, Jaish-e-Mohammed.
Another was British-born Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh. He was later sentenced to death in Pakistan for abducting and murdering US journalist Daniel Pearl who disappeared in Karachi
