The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the Delhi High Court's decision to grant bail to Ammar Abdul Rahiman, who was charged under the UAPA for allegedly supporting ISIS. The bench found no evidence that he breached bail conditions.
Arrested on August 4, 2021, Rahiman has been in custody for about three years. While the prosecution plans to examine over 160 witnesses, only 44 have been called so far, indicating the trial's continuation could take significant time.
Officials noted Rahiman's cooperation with the investigation and his consistent appearance in court. However, the court denied his request to apply for a passport to travel internationally while the trial is pending.
