Athar Parwez vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court granted bail to the Appellant, who was accused under Sections 120, 120-B, 121, 121A, 153A, 153B, and 34 IPC, as well as Sections 13, 17, 18, 18A, 18B, and 20 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The Court found the allegations against the Appellant, including possession of a document titled 'India 2047 towards rule of Islam in India', to be insufficient for denying bail, noting the lack of independent witnesses and the absence of concrete evidence linking the Appellant to terrorist activities. The Court emphasized that the PFI was a legally constituted organization at the time of the alleged offences, leading to the conclusion that the Appellant's continued detention was unwarranted.
