Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to deny bail to the Appellant under Section 439 CrPC, emphasizing the seriousness of the charges related to terrorism and separatist activities funded by the banned organization 'Sikhs For Justice'. The Court noted that the Appellant's involvement was established through the disclosure statements of co-accused, which indicated plans to procure weapons for furthering separatist ideologies. The Court held that the trial court had reasonable grounds to believe the accusations against the Appellant were true, thus affirming the denial of bail.
