Supreme Court Grants Bail to Two Alleged Indian Mujahideen Operatives After 12 Years
The Supreme Court granted bail to Mohammed Saquib Ansari and Waqar Azhar, alleged Indian Mujahideen operatives, after nearly 12 years in custody under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act. The court cited the slow progress of their trial and ruled that continued incarceration violated their right to liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution. Both had been involved in multiple cases across Delhi and Rajasthan, with some sentences suspended and bail granted in related cases. Bail is subject to trial court conditions and no pending requirements in other cases.
