JAMMU, Dec 4: Special Judge NIA Srinagar Sandeep Gandotra has rejected the bail application of one Ashiq Hussain Bhat, a close associate of foreign terrorist.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “prima-facie there are reasonable grounds to believe that the accusation against the accused person/ applicant for the commission of offence under 19 UAPA are reasonably true because they have deposed incriminating material against the accused/applicant”.
“Charges under Section 19 UAP Act have been framed against the applicant on 23.01.2023 and 59 witnesses are yet to be examined. Therefore, the embargo contained Section 43-D (5) with regard to offences under Chapter IV & VI of UAP Act is clearly attracted to the facts of this case”, the court said, adding “the accused does not deserve the latitude of bail at this stage. The application is accordingly dismissed”.
