The Delhi High Court granted bail to Kashmiri human rights activist Khurram Parvez, who had been in NIA custody since November 2021. Setting aside the trial court’s December 2024 order, the Court allowed his appeal and directed his release subject to conditions.
The Supreme Court awarded Rs 11 lakh compensation to a prisoner unlawfully kept in custody for 24 days beyond the legally permissible period, holding that wrongful deprivation of personal liberty constitutes a serious violation of Article 21 and undermines the constitutional guarantee of fundamental rights.
