The State’s anxiety to suppress dissent is somewhat blurring in its mind the line between the constitutionally guaranteed right to protest and terrorist activity, Delhi High Court said on Tuesday while granting bail to three student anti-CAA protesters charged under the anti-terror law UAPA.
“If this mindset gains traction, it would be a sad day for democracy,” the division bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Anup Jairam Bhambhani said.

The court granted bail to JNU students Natasha Narwal and Devangana Kalita, and Jamia Millia Islamia student Asif Iqbal Tanha.
The bench questioned the purported evidence furnished by the police against the trio, arrested in April last year and charged with inciting the February 2020 communal riots in Delhi after they participated in protests against the new citizenship matrix.
