The apex court remands the case back to the Bombay High Court in which the former Delhi University professor and four others are serving life imprisonment after being convicted by a trial court under the UAPA for alleged links with banned CPI (Maoist).
The Supreme Court on Thursday posted for January 17, 2023, a plea filed by the Maharashtra government challenging the October 14 order of the Bombay High Court which discharged former Delhi University professor GN Saibaba and others in an alleged Maoist links case.
Activists associated with the 'Campaign against State Repression' wondered why the acquittal granted to the accused in the case by the Bombay high court was overturned within 24 hours.
