Ebha Arjun Jadeja vs The State Of Gujarat

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the accused's application for discharge under Section 20-A(1) of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987, affirming that the prosecution had sufficient evidence to proceed. The Court emphasized that the non-compliance of procedural requirements does not automatically warrant discharge if substantial evidence exists against the accused. The holding confirmed that the accused's possession of illegal firearms and their involvement in a potential terrorist activity justified the continuation of the trial.
