🚨Will Siddique Kappan get bail? Hearing tomorrow in Supreme Court.
Kappan is booked under UAPA, a stringent law to curb terrorist activities for having links with Popular Front of India, touted as a radical organisation. Allahabad HC has earlier said this is prima facie apparent
🚨 A bench led by CJI UU Lalit will hear UAPA accused Siddique Kappans’ case today. He has sought bail & the prosecution’s contention is that he should not be granted bail as he was involved in Terror activities under garb of journalism.
Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal for Siddique Kappan: No evidence against me. PFI is NOT a terrorist organisation.
Bench says it will issue notice, Senior Advocate Garima Parshad intervenes.
Parshad: There are 8 accused, all of them are behind bars and only one of them who is the driver has been released. One of the accused was involved in delhi riots, another in Bulandshaher riots...
Sibal: 5000 Page chargesheet
#CJI: Let her speak
Parshad continues, says that there are enough reasons to keep Kappan behind bars.
#CJI says that the Government be allowed to place all documents which may be relevant to them on record
#CJI says that Siddique Kappans bail plea will be put up for final disposal on September 9, 2022.

BREAKING: Due to difference in opinion before another bench, Sr. Adv. Dave mentions this case before #CJI led bench now.
Sr. Adv Kapil Sibal says in 2022, "they wake up and say they have to perform it (Ganesh Chaturthi)"
"Everything will be lost," says Dave
The #CJI led bench is now hearing the case. Bench says it is appropriate for this to go before a 3-judge bench which does not include Justice Dhulia (having been party to it earlier).
#CJI says the case can be put up in a few minutes by another bench which may be constituted.
The bench has risen, has communicated to the lawyers that it intends to come back in a few minutes to check if other judges are available to hear this.
Dave says this is an extraordinary case and he is willing to attend the hearing at the judges residence as well. #SupremeCourt
