How can courts handle bail under UAPA in certain cases
Should courts be more willing to grant bail under the UAPA in deserving situations?
- Under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), courts can handle bail by considering the gravity of the offense and evidence against the accused.
- Courts may be more willing to grant bail under UAPA in deserving situations if the accused does not pose a threat to public safety or national security.
- Factors such as the nature of the offense, the role of the accused, and the likelihood of the accused tampering with evidence or witnesses are also considered by the courts.
- The Supreme Court has emphasized that bail should be the rule and jail the exception, indicating a need for courts to carefully evaluate each case for bail under UAPA.
- Ultimately, the decision to grant bail under UAPA rests with the discretion of the judiciary based on the facts and circumstances of each case.
