4 Yrs Is Sufficient Period To Snap Links: P&H HC Grants Bail To Men Booked Under UAPA, NDPS For Transferring Funds To Terror Outfit

The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted bail to individuals accused under UAPA for allegedly transferring funds to Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, stating that a four-year period is sufficient to sever links with associates. The court emphasized that the prosecution failed to show active participation in unlawful activities post-accusation. This decision highlights judicial scrutiny over prolonged pretrial detention and the requirement for concrete evidence of ongoing criminal association. It also underscores the legal principles governing bail under stringent laws like UAPA.
