NATIONAL INVESTIGATION AGENCY vs ZAHOOR AHMAD SHAH WATALI

The Supreme Court addressed the bail application of Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali, accused under Sections 120B, 121, and 121A IPC, and various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant bail, emphasizing the need for a prima facie case based on the material presented, including allegations of terror funding and conspiracy. The Court reiterated the importance of Section 43D of the 1967 Act, which restricts bail in cases involving terrorism, but found that the evidence did not meet the threshold for denying bail.
