thebalanced.newsDelhi Police Cites Kasab Case to Argue Bail Should Reflect Case Severity in SC Hearing
During a Supreme Court hearing on bail in a case related to the 2020 Delhi riots, Additional Solicitor General Raju and Advocate Rajat Nair, representing Delhi Police, argued that bail decisions should be based on the specific facts and severity of each case. They cited the example of Ajmal Kasab, the 26/11 Mumbai attack terrorist, who remained in jail for years due to numerous witnesses, to emphasize that prolonged detention does not automatically justify bail. They also referenced the hypothetical trial of Hafiz Saeed to illustrate complexities in cases involving foreign evidence.
