Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Designated Court's rejection 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 evidence of the appellant's involvement in serious offences including conspiracy and possession of explosives. The Court noted the appellant's absconding for a decade and the potential for evidence tampering as significant factors in denying bail. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings regarding the gravity of the charges and the need for maintaining the integrity of the judicial process.
