Dismisses Plea Against Bail To \u2018Mastermind\u2019<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NEW DELHI: Implementing its view that bail granted by a HC should not be ordinarily challenged in the apex court, Supreme Court<\/a> Friday dismissed Uttarakhand’s appeal questioning the grant of bail to one Abdul Malik<\/a>, the alleged mastermind of a mob that hurled a petrol bomb to torch a police station in Haldwani in 2024.A bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana asked whether throwing a bomb constitutes an offence under UPA. “Is throwing a bomb a UAPA offence?” the bench asked the state additional advocate general Gaurav Bhatia before he could open arguments for cancellation of bail granted to Malik by HC.“If a mob burns a police station, how is it an offence under UAPA? How did the offence affect national security? We have doubts about invocation of UAPA charges against the accused, that is why we are not inclined to entertain the appeal,” Justice Bagchi said.Bhatia tried to impress upon the court the seriousness of the offence. “The accused is the mastermind behind mobilising the mob and one of his key associates threw petrol bombs to burn the police station, which is an offence that attracts a life sentence. Just because some co-accused got bail, he should not be granted the same relief without appreciating the gravity of the crime committed by him,” he said.<\/p>\n
