  • Singhvi: mylords may impose any safeguards. Its hightime mylords consider that liberty is secured through GPA in America and all. But I want to ask what public interest are you protecting by keeping her in jail?

    Next, Javed Sheikh judgment- 2 judges. A third UAPA case, Jalel Khan- its not like UAPA is a no-go area. When trial is prolong, it is not open for prosecution to argue.

    Right to speedy trial and personal liberty-Manish Sisodia case. Look at the finding of the High Court- hurried trial deterimental to both appellants and the State- this is misplaced consideration. I did rather not have this consideration from HC. Very infamous passage in ADM Jabalpur, happily overuled [is similar to this one].

    Bail application has been pending from 2020-2022- 3 years, 2.9. 2022- dismissed. Listed 90 times, 25 non-availability of bench, 26 renotified- caricature of justice system. Two separate benches heard petition but then one transferred.

    Just consider, I have cited 3 out of many cases were speedy trial is cited.

    On parity- I am only lady in incarceration. they got bail in 2021. Mine is a much lesser case. It was upheld by SC in May 2023. This is the similarity of allegations- both members of Pinja Job, whatsapp Auraton ka Inquilad, both organised protest sites, attended secret meetings at Seelampur, attended Chandbagh meeting for chakka jam, - all these doesn't constitute UAPA offence but I will not go on that.
