Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the High Court's decision to grant bail to the accused, Shakul Hameed, under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The court found that the detention of the accused for an extended period did not comply with Section 43D(2)(b) of the UAP Act, which mandates specific conditions for detention. Consequently, the court upheld the High Court's ruling, emphasizing the importance of adhering to statutory provisions regarding detention periods in cases involving terrorism-related charges.
