Скачать или смотреть Delhi Riots Case: Bail for Pinjra Tod Activists, Scathing Observations By Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court made scathing observations over the imposition of UAPA charges against activists Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita and Asif Iqbal Tanha while granting them bail in the northeast Delhi riots conspiracy case.
"It seems that in its anxiety to suppress dissent, in the mind of the State, the line between the constitutionally guaranteed right to protest and terrorist activity seems to be getting somewhat blurred. If this mindset gains traction, it would be a sad day for democracy," observed a bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul and Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani.
The court also stated that the government cannot be "allowed to cry wolf" and "draw inference" when no direct evidence exists.
"We find ourselves unpersuaded and unconvinced with this submission since we find it is not founded on any specific factual allegation and we are of the view that the mere use of alarming and hyperbolic verbiage in the subject charge-sheet will not convince us otherwise. In fact, upon a closer scrutiny of the submissions made on behalf of the State, we find that the submissions are based upon inferences drawn by the prosecuting agency and not upon factual allegations," the Delhi High Court said.
