Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the bail application of the appellant charged under Sections 121, 121A, 122 IPC and Sections 13, 18, 18A, 20 of the UAPA. The Court held that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie connection between the appellant and the alleged unlawful activities of the Popular Front of India, as required under Section 43D(5) of the UAPA. Consequently, the Court granted bail to the appellant, emphasizing the lack of reasonable grounds for believing the accusations against him were true.
