Supreme Court Challenges UAPA Charges in Haldwani Violence Case, Upholds Bail for Abdul Malik

The Supreme Court refused to cancel bail for Abdul Malik in the Haldwani violence case. The court questioned applying the UAPA, stating the case might be a law and order issue rather than a national security threat. Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi dismissed the state's petition, noting that the prosecution failed to show a strong prima facie case.
