SC Grants Bail to Two Alleged Indian Mujahideen Operatives After 12 Years

The Supreme Court has granted bail to two alleged Indian Mujahideen operatives who have been in custody since 2014. The court held that their prolonged incarceration without trial was a violation of their fundamental right to liberty. The court granted relief to Mohd Saquib Ansari and Waqar Azhar, who had challenged an April order of the Delhi high court rejecting their bail pleas in a terror case. The court's decision has sparked debate about the need for speedy trials and the rights of accused persons.
