Court also rejects NIA’s plea against bail to another accused
The Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to Thwaha Fasal, a journalism student in his twenties, accused under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for having Maoist links.
A Bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and A.S. Oka also rejected an appeal filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) challenging the bail granted to Alan Shuhaib, a third-year law student and Fasal’s co-accused in the case.
The court said the youth from Kerala were arrested in November 2019. While a trial court granted them bail, the Kerala High Court cancelled Fasal’s bail while not interfering with Shuhaib’s. The judgment read out by Justice Oka set aside the High Court decision concerning Fasal and restored the order of the Special Court, which had enlarged him on bail.
