New Delhi: The apex court has refused to quash the bail granted to 3 accused in the Delhi riots from the High Court. But it has been clarified that based on this order of the High Court, relief in UAPA cases cannot be sought anywhere in the country. The judges expressed surprise that the high court ordered 125 pages in the bail case. No one challenged the validity of the UAPA. Nevertheless, the High Court interpreted the law, questioning its constitutionality.
The Supreme Court has called for a detailed hearing on the broadpoints of the verdict. The judges have sent notices to the three accused Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita and Asif Tanha on a petition filed by Delhi Police. Giving 4 weeks time for reply, the court said the case will be posted for hearing in the week starting July 19.
Natasha, Devangana and Asif were granted bail by a bench of Delhi High Court judges Siddharth Mridul and Anup Bhambani on June 15. The judges had said that the police FIR an attempt to suppress the voice of dissent against the government. The trio did not threaten the security of the country. It is wrong to UAPA against them.
