Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning bail granted to accused under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The court examined the legality of the High Court's decision to grant bail to Thwaha Fasal and Allan Shuaib, emphasizing the need for a thorough assessment of the evidence and the implications of the charges under the NIA Act. Ultimately, the court upheld the bail orders, reinforcing the principle that bail should not be denied merely based on the severity of the charges without substantial evidence.
