Hon’ble Special NIA Court (Mumbai) Acquits Individuals of UAPA Charges: Judicial Findings Affirm No Terrorism Links

Khemka & Associates notes the Hon’ble Special NIA Court’s judgment of November 28, 2024, which acquitted three individuals of all charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in Case RC-01/2018/NIA/MUM.. The court found no evidence connecting the accused to terrorism or proscribed organizations such as the Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT).

Judicial Findings:

1. The individuals were acquitted of all UAPA charges, with the court emphasizing a lack of substantiating evidence for allegations of terrorism.

   
   

2. Convictions pertain solely to immigration violations under the Foreigners Act and forgery-related offenses under the Indian Penal Code, unrelated to terrorism.

The National Investigation Agency’s press release of the same date (28.11.2024) presents a narrative of terrorism-related convictions, which is inconsistent with the court’s findings.

Call to Action:

• Relevant parties are encouraged to ensure that all public communications reflect the judicial record accurately.

• Media organizations are requested to revise any reports inconsistent with the court’s findings.

Khemka & Associates remains committed to representing the legal and factual position in accordance with judicial determinations.
