Delhi Courts Grant Bail in UAPA and Assault Cases Amid Trial Delays
Recent court decisions highlight challenges in bail cases under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The Delhi High Court granted bail to Mohammad Saqib after eight years in jail, citing prolonged trial delays despite strong prosecution material. Separately, a Delhi court granted interim bail to influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj in an alleged assault case linked to protests, amid comparisons to other high-profile cases. These rulings reflect judicial considerations balancing strict bail provisions with the right to timely trials.
