The Supreme Court issued a notice on a plea for bail filed by E. Abubacker, the former chairman of the Popular Front of India (PFI), in a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Abubacker's legal team argued that his prolonged detention, despite his age and medical condition, warranted bail. The court’s decision to issue a notice signals its willingness to examine the merits of the case and the bail plea, especially given the serious nature of charges under UAPA.
