Punjab Court Denies Bail in Seven-Year Sedition and UAPA Case Linked to SFJ

The Punjab and Haryana High Court recently denied bail to four men accused in a sedition and UAPA case linked to the banned group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ). The case, initiated in 2018 after arrests for displaying pro-Khalistan banners in Amritsar, involves allegations of propaganda, recruitment, weapon procurement, and arson. The investigation was transferred to the National Investigation Agency in 2020, with earlier delays noted. The legal proceedings have spanned over seven years, marked by two deaths and differing bail decisions.
