UP Loses Case In Supreme Court Seeking Tough Charges Against Dr Kafeel Khan

The UP government argued that Dr Kafeel Khan had a history of committing offences.
New Delhi:
The Uttar Pradesh government today lost its case in the Supreme Court seeking tough charges against a doctor, Kafeel Khan, under the National Security Act (NSA) for a speech against the amended citizenship law. 
"Criminal cases will be decided on their own merits. You cannot use a preventive detention order in another case," Chief Justice of India SA Bobde said, confirming an Allahabad High Court order that had freed the doctor.
"It seems to be a good order by the High Court. We see no reason to interfere with the order. But the observations will not affect the prosecution on criminal cases," Justice Bobde said.
