Supreme Court Directs Karnataka to Set Up Additional Special Court for UAPA Cases
The Supreme Court directed the Karnataka government to establish an additional special court dedicated to handling Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) cases on a daily basis. This follows a plea in a PFI conspiracy case involving over 700 witnesses. The court ordered the state to provide necessary infrastructure and staff within two weeks. The special court will prioritize examining protected and vital witnesses to complete material evidence recording within three months, after which bail applications can be reconsidered on merit.
