Sen had been arrested in 2018 and made multiple unsuccessful attempts to secure bail. The order was passed by a bench comprising Justices Aniruddha Bose and Augustine George Masih. Shoma Sen had approached both the Pune Sessions Court and the Bombay High Court for bail, but was directed to appeal to the special NIA court before seeking relief from the High Court. Finally, after appealing to the Supreme Court against the High Court’s decision, she was granted bail.
