Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal by the Union of India against the Kerala High Court's order granting bail to K.A. Najeeb, who was accused of serious offenses including attempted murder and terrorism-related charges under the IPC and UAPA. The court emphasized the gravity of the allegations, particularly the violent attack on Professor TJ Joseph, and the potential threat to public order. The bail was deemed inappropriate given the nature of the crimes and the possibility of tampering with evidence or influencing witnesses.
