Supreme Court to hear bail plea of activist Navlakha today?
Today, the Supreme Court of India will hear a bail plea from activist Gautam Navlakha, who has been in jail for over three months. He was arrested in August for alleged links to Maoists and has been charged with sedition. The plea to be heard today is from the People’s Union for Civil Liberties and Navlakha’s lawyers, who argue that there is no evidence to support the charges against him. They contend that the arrest was politically motivated and used to stifle dissent. The plea seeks to secure his release on bail and protect his fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression. It remains to be seen how the Supreme Court rules on this case, and whether it will protect the rights of an accused individual or uphold the law of the land.
