The Supreme Court of India granted bail to former PFI leader Abdul Sathar, involved in a conspiracy related to the 2022 murder of an RSS worker. The court emphasized that ideology shouldn’t result in imprisonment and criticized the use of custody to prevent future crimes, allowing Sathar to remain free during trial.
The Supreme Court today (29th Nov) criticized the Kerala High Court for wrongly granting bail to 17 accused PFI members in a murder case tied to RSS leader Srinivasan, stating that individual roles were not assessed. It also demanded an explanation from the Supreme Court Registry for failing to list certain Special Leave Petitions by the NIA.
