BREAKING "Even if a mob goes and throws petrol bombs at police station, how is UAPA attracted?" Supreme Court judge Justice Joymalya Bagchi in the bail plea of Haldwani Violence accused
"We have serious doubt about addition of UAPA, that is why we are not inclined to entertain State's SLP" - J Bagchi
State claims accused-Abdul Malik was the main accused, but was granted bail through non-reasoned order
"Liberty does not depend on inaccuracy of a court. It depends on the prosecution case", says J Bagchi
"In these facts, we don't really require a speaking order from HC. It is sufficient if application of mind is indicated. He has been in custody for 2 yrs. Even if bail is granted for wrong reason, we should not interfere. We should not interfere": CJI Kant
"If demoralizing of police is your concern, you should have obtained conviction in 2 yrs. You abysmally failed", said J Bagchi
J Bagchi lastly added that invocation of UAPA was an arguable case for the defense.
