Kerala High Court on Monday set aside the order passed by Special NIA Court, Kochi granting bail to Thaha Fasal in a UAPA case for alleged Maoist links. The Thalassery-based law students Alan Shuhaib and Thaha Fasal were arrested under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in Kozhikode in November 2019.
The High Court however has not cancelled the bail granted to Allan Shuhaib, who was also arrested along with Thaha in November 2019.
A division bench comprising Justices A Hariprasad and K Haripal allowed the appeal filed by the National Investigation Agency against the September 9 order passed by Special NIA Court granting bail to Thwaha, student of journalism. The High Court said that it was not interfering with the bail granting to Allan Shuhaib at the moment, considering his young age and also different degree of involvement.
Earlier, after ten months of judicial custody, the NIA special court had granted bail to both of them in September last year.
