JKL High Court Refuses To Quash UAPA Case Against Professor Accused Of Promoting Separatism, Provoking People Against Security Forces

Case: Abdul Bari Naik v. State of J&K and others

Coram: Justice Sanjay Dhar

Case No.: CRMC No.464/2018

Court Observation: “Upon watching the video clips seized during the investigation of the case, it appears that the petitioner is conveying to the audience that Kashmiri students are being lynched and brutally tortured in other parts of the country. In one of the video clips, the petitioner is seen conveying to his audience that the children of Kashmir are being oppressed by the security forces and the army. In yet another video clip, the petitioner is conveying that the army is hampering the movement of the people and it is obstructing the children from going to schools which has led to closure of schools. In yet another video clip, the petitioner is seen pleading cause relating to release of a person who was in custody for indulging in stone pelting and terrorist activities,”

“Quashing the proceedings in the instant case would amount to stifling a genuine prosecution which is impermissible in law,”
