Supreme Court Upholds Bail, Declares Cryptic Orders Unrevisable

Supreme Court Upholds Bail, Declares Cryptic Orders Unrevisable

The Supreme Court said that a person’s freedom depends on the evidence against them, not on whether a judge made a mistake.

It kept the bail that a lower court gave to Abdul Malik, who was accused in a 2024 attack on a mosque.

The court also said that judges don’t have to explain why they give bail.

It questioned whether the strict UAPA law should be used for a mob that burned a police station.

The decision means the court will not look again at the earlier bail order.

Abdul Malik has been in jail since February 2024 and faces many serious charges.

The state government wanted the bail cancelled, but the Supreme Court said it should stay.

The ruling shows the court wants to keep the process fair and not overuse strict laws.

It also warned that giving bail to someone who might be dangerous could hurt police morale.

The court’s decision is a reminder that the law must balance freedom and safety.
