Umarmia Alias Mamumia v. State of Gujarat

The Supreme Court upheld the Designated Court's dismissal of the bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. and Section 20(8) of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987, emphasizing the prima facie case against the Appellant for serious offences under TADA. The Court noted the Appellant's absconding for a decade and the potential for evidence tampering as critical factors in denying bail. The Court rejected the Appellant's argument regarding the lack of prior approval under Section 20A(1) of the TADA Act, affirming the lower court's findings.
