Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the Union of India against the Madras High Court's order granting bail to respondents accused of terrorism-related offenses under Sections 120B, 121A, 122, 153A of IPC and Sections 13, 18, 18A, 18B of the UAPA. The Court emphasized the importance of the prima facie case established by the NIA and the implications of Section 43D of the UAPA regarding bail. The Court ultimately held that the High Court's decision to grant bail was erroneous and set aside the order, thereby denying bail to the respondents.
