On Tuesday, the Supreme Court dismissed the plea made by the Delhi Police to challenge the bail granted to three accused individuals in relation to the Delhi riots case. The top court emphasized that the Delhi High Court's remark on the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) should not be taken as a precedent.
The Delhi Police had invoked the UAPA against the accused, but the High Court had described it as a frivolous invocation. The Supreme Court stated that the remark made by the High Court should not be treated as a precedent, and the case must be examined on its own merits.
The Delhi Police had argued that the High Court's statement regarding the UAPA had the potential to create a precedent that could be utilized by other accused individuals to obtain bail in the future. However, the Supreme Court dismissed this argument and stated that each case must be evaluated on its own facts and merits.
The Delhi riots occurred in February 2020, resulting in the death of over 50 people and injuring several others. The case is being investigated by the Delhi Police, and several individuals have been arrested and charged in connection with the riots. The UAPA is a law enacted in India to combat terrorism and is considered to be a stringent law.
