Court: UAPA Accused Must Challenge Sanction at Trial

Three people accused of breaking the law asked a court to review the permission they needed to be prosecuted before their trial started.

However, the court said they couldn't do that.

The High Court agreed the permission should be reviewed during the main trial, not beforehand.

The court said the trial judge made the correct decision and pointed to other cases that support this rule.

Now, the accused will have to wait until the trial to question if the police followed all the rules when they got permission to prosecute them.
